Eddie Murphy has not been killed. The story is a lie designed to trick people into visiting a fake-news website.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, while Eddie is alive and well, his older brother Charlie Murphy died in early April 2017 after \u00a0battling leukaemia. It appears that the callous scammers who created the fake Eddie Murphy death \u00a0story are attempting to capitalise on news of Charlie Murphy&#8217;s \u00a0death.<\/p>\n<h2>Fake Celebrity Death Posts Link to Scam Websites<\/h2>\n<p>Such <a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/dont-get-caught-by-celebrity-death-hoaxes-and-scams\/\">fake celebrity death reports are all too common<\/a>. Links in the messages open click-bait websites that may contain malware, launch tech support scam browser popups, or trick people into visiting suspect survey websites.<\/p>\n<p>Verify Death Reports Before Sharing or Clicking<\/p>\n<p>If you receive a social media post, text message, or email claiming that a famous person has died, it is wise to verify it before \u00a0sharing it or clicking \u00a0any links it contains. If a celebrity has really died, news of his or her demise will be extensively covered by the mainstream media. So, searching Google News should quickly reveal if a circulating death story is true.<\/p>\n<h3>An example of the fake death post:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7757\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/7756-2\/eddie-murphy-death-scam\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,603\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"eddie-murphy-death-scam\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam-300x226.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7757\" src=\"https:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam.jpg\" alt=\"Eddie Murphy Death Scam\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam-500x377.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/eddie-murphy-death-scam-585x441.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/7756-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/7756-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A circulating social media post is claiming that actor and comedian Eddie Murphy has been killed in a car crash.
