TAIPEI : Indonesian media had falsely reported that Taiwanese star Jay Chou had died from a drug overdose, according to Taiwanese reports.
On Saturday, a reader alerted The Liberty Times of online discussions on social networking site, Facebook, about the singer's death and requested that the paper verify the reports.
When contacted, Chou's record label JVR quashed the rumours saying the star is fine and is currently in America filming "The Green Hornet". It also warned the public not to believe the rumours.
This isn't the first time the singer is reported to have died. In 2004, a Chinese website published a report saying Chou was killed in an accident after a collision with a truck.
