Robert Duvall cliff death reports a hoax

Claims that top Hollywood actor Robert Duvall died while filming a
movie in New Zealand have been unmasked as an online hoax.

Twitter and other social media started circulating the Academy Award
winner's death - falling 60-ft down 'Kauri Cliffs' - earlier this
week.

Many posts included a link to an apparently legitimate news website
that confirmed the 'breaking news'.

"Preliminary reports from New Zealand Police officials indicate that
the actor fell more than 60-feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs
while on-set. Specific details are not yet available," the spoof
article says.

However, the 'Global Associated News' website is a fake, set up
specifically for circulating false stories.

Duvall has joined a growing list of celebrities falsely declared dead
this month, including Bill Cosby, 'Science Guy' Bill Nye, and John
Cena who "died" while practicing a move with The Rock.
