Actor Wayne Knight, best known as Jerry Seinfeld's annoying neighbor Newman, was the target for another death hoax earlier today.

Boston.com reports that US Magazine's website ran a story detailing the events of Knight's death in a tragic car accident. They have provided the screenshot below:

Once Knight caught wind of the news, he tweeted that he was alive and well.

Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but….I am alive and well!

Does someone have to DIE to trend? Geez! Thanks for all the love everybody. I didn’t know you cared. Glad to be breathing!

In honor of Wayne Knight's life, watch this clip of one of Newman's best moments on Seinfeld.
