burtMar 4, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The latest death rumor to have been churned out by the rumor mills involve actor Burt Reynolds. However, this time, the rumors have not been conjured out of thin air. There seems to be some basis of the rumors. This time, it had not been a case of some morbid prankster just making up a story about some car crash or plane crash, or worse still, a drug overdose or drug deal gone awry.

Apparently, there had been reports that the actor had been admitted to the hospital with severe heart problems. However, the rumors started to float possibly after no further reports came through of the well being or the treatment of the celebrity. It is being speculated that it possibly led some internet blogger to assume that the celebrity had succumbed to his illness, thus leading to the birth of the rumors. However, the fans of the actor can now rest in peace, as recent reports suggest that he is well and doing fine at his residence, where he is recovering at present.

Recent reports suggest that Burt Reynolds had been forced to undergo quintuple bypass surgery. The operation had taken place sometime toward the end of last week, and there were rumors that the surgery was necessary in order for the actor to actually live. However, when no further reports came through of the surgery, it was possibly assumed that he had died, particularly as the case was a major one. However, his manager brushed away assumptions that the actor had to be taken to an emergency surgery.
