Robert Pattinson may be heartbroken but he is not dead.

The Twilight star is the latest victim of a death hoax in the wake of a cheating scandal between his girlfriend Kristen Stewart and married director Rupert Sanders.
The chain of death rumors began when a message was posted on Twitter and Facebook, alleging that Pattinson died in a car accident.

““Very sad news, especially for all the Twilight fans, Robert Pattinson died in a single car accident on route 80 between Morris-ville and Roswell,” the post reads.
“Friends and family are mourning the loss of a loved one,” it added.

Then a fake obituary appeared on Necropedia, dating the death of Robert Pattinson as Saturday.

“Robert Pattinson, born on May 13, 1986 in London, was a British actor and model. He died on July 28, 2012, at the age of 26,” says a post on Necropedia titled “Robert Pattinson is dead.”

“The news has left the world shocked and saddened,” the site added.

The post was apparently made on July 27, so the site is obviously not reporting the fact. If anything, do they wish for the heartbroken actor to die in his sorrow?

Robert Pattinson has previously been the victim of a death hoax back in 2009, when reports claimed that he was found dead in New York City hotel from a heroin overdose.

Though the 26-year-old actor may be devastated and heartbroken, he is not ready to die until he finds the truth between Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders.

While Pattinson is not ready to talk with his girlfriend of three years, he wants to have a “man to man” talk with the married director, who was photographed in a steamy rendezvous with Stewart.

“Rob wants to have a man-to-man chat with Rupert to find out exactly what happened between him and Kristen,” a source told RadarOnline.

“Kristen has already betrayed his trust by cheating, so he can't be sure that she will tell him exactly what went on between her and Rupert. Rupert has a wife and a family to save, so Rob feels like he has nothing left to lose and would be honest with him,” the source added.

Robert Pattinson is feeling doubly betrayed by his girlfriend and her director in whom he placed deep trust.

“Rob really was blindsided by this and he's going through the typical stages of being cheated on,” according to the inside source.

“He was hurt and heartbroken, then angry and p****d off, and now he just wants answers. He feels like he needs to know exactly what happened, how far it went and how many times, so he can figure out if this is something he can move past.”
