Los Angeles hospital has reported that Jackie Chan has died. The legendary Hong Kong actor who appeared in over 100 films allegedly passed away last night following a heart attack. The report added that doctors say extreme stress due to his occupied schedule puts too much pressure on his heart. Chan is scheduled to fly to Hong Kong today to begin shooting the next film ’1911‘.

An update to his Facebook page stated that the issue was fraud and totally mistaken.

He will forever be in our hearts, a true inspiration who inspired many generations. First it’s Nate Dogg then it’s Jackie Chan.”
