In June of 2004, a rumor began heavily circulating on the Internet that Moranis had been killed in an incident involving a train. This proved to be false; apparently a private (if not cruel) joke posted on a private web address spiraled out of control and was taken as fact. The rumour has continued to surface and is currently (April 2005) experiencing a mild resurgence.
