LONDON: Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise’s representative has slammed fake Internet reports that said he was dead.

According to thesun.co.uk, a story surfaced on the net that Cruise had died after falling off a cliff in New Zealand. The tragedy supposedly took place at Kauri Cliffs, which is the set of Cruise’s new movie.

Cruise’s representative Jeff Raymond was baffled after reading the bogus report and released

a statement saying that he is well and that he was not in New Zealand. The same website had earlier reported that Tom Hanks had fallen to his death off the same cliff.
