NEW YORK (WPIX)—
Comedian Bill Cosby is not dead despite rumors making rounds on the internet Monday.

A simple click of the mouse Monday afternoon revealed, "Bill Cosby died" as the number one trending topic on Twitter and "is Bill Cobsy dead" as the number two "hot topic" on Google Trends, which essentially keeps track of items entered into the search engine.

Around 4 p.m. Monday, the 73-year-old took to his Twitter account writing, "Again, I'm rebutalling rumors about my demise."

This isn't the first time Cosby has had to deal with news of his supposed demise.

In February, he again took to his Twitter account after hearing rumors of his apparent death. In that instance, he wrote, "As you well know, a dead person cannot rebuttal. Therefore, I am rebuttaling to tell you that when I heard the news I immediately began rebuttaling and went into denial."

In addition, he acknowledged "rebuttal" wasn't used as a verb, however he added, "I don't care, because I'm alive!"
