Bill Cosby is dead on social media, again. The comedian and educatorwas killed on Facebook and Twitter late Monday, becoming yet another victim of a death hoax.

“Bill Cosby is dead? He'll truly be missed. RIP!” - @AidaPipic8

This is not the first time for Bill Cosby to face death hoaxes.

Back in August 2010, the 74-year-old was already tired of the repeated rumors.

"I don't want [whoever spread the rumor] to do this anymore, because this is my fourth time being reported [dead]," Cosby told CNN's Kyra Phillips back then.
