John Hartman, an actor you’ll recognize from the CBS hit comedy TV show Ghosts, claims that TMZ called people in his life to tell them he had died.
The 42-year-old actor, who plays Nigel Chessum on the series, took to his social media to explain that the celebrity news site TMZ called “a number of people” and broke the news…which obviously turned out to be fake.

He captioned his video, “In case ya missed it. Live In Peace,” and added, “(To clarify, this is 100% real, not AI, not a joke).”
