"Michael J. Fox Obituary" is among the widely searched keywords in the interwebs right now.

It is not certain as to why "obituary" is being added by netizens in their searches.

There is, however, an entry on Necropedia.org for Michael J. Fox's "anticipated" obituary which says the actor will die on August 18, 2012. The entry reads:
Death of Michael J. Fox.

Michael J. Fox, born on June 9, 1961 in Edmonton, was an American actor of Canadian origin. He died on August 18, 2012, at the age of 51.

The news has left the world shocked and saddened.
But the website also has "anticipated" obituaries for several other living stars.

"It is common for news agencies to keep pre-written obituary for public figures, famous and high-profile people who are still alive." the site writes. "It is by no means a death announcement nor an anticipation of death."

No, Michael J. Fox is not yet dead. In fact, he is preparing for his TV comeback. The TV project is reportedly in the works at Sony Pictures Television and is slated to be released in 2013.

Fox, 51, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, prompting him to reduce his workload. He has since become an activist for research toward finding a cure.
