Scrubs actor Zach Braff was the victim of another celebrity death hoax on Tuesday (October 13), which reported that the 34 year-old had been found dead at his home from an apparent suicide with an “empty pill bottle” by his side.

Zach used his Facebook page to assure his fans he was alive and well. Zach said, “There was a big Internet rumor today that I was dead … that I OD’d on some pills. It’s not the case (…). I just want to say to the douchebag who started this: You win my first ever douche of the day award for making my mom upset!” (watch Zach’s funny message below).

The author of the article Chris Laganella quickly posted an apology on his website, saying, “Zach, sorry if you got offended by me posting a fake suicide about you on the Internet (…) Thanks for (apparently) taking it lightly, since I haven’t gotten a letter about a lawsuit yet. Just so you know, I’m a huge fan; that’s the only reason I made this page, believe it or not. Also, sorry for upsetting your mother ”
