Actress Yvonne Nelson has denied rumors suggesting that she is dead. News went viral Monday that the actress had passed on. The rumors particularly gained currency this week because it has been difficult to reach the actress to ascertain the veracity of the news.

Sources close to her, however revealed that there was no iota of truth in the rumors. The actress in her bid to personally dispel the rumors took to twitter and said:

“I’m alive and ok…..pls stop spreading death rumors…….thank you.”

This isn’t the first time Yvonne has been rumored to have come close to death. In November 2011, she was said to have escaped death by a whisker after suffering from food poisoning. Sources had said the incident took place before she embarked on a trip to Paris.

“At about 12:30 midnight Friday, she had to be rushed to the hospital for an injection. She was told it was food poisoning,” the source was quoted to have said.

The actress was also quoted to have said “One birthday gift at 12:30 was an injection. God bless you all,” after she was admitted at the hospital for the food poisoning.
