7 Mar - Rumours of his passing seemed to have turned into an annual trend, as Jackie Chan recently denied yet another hoax about getting killed in an accident.

As reported on Yibada, last Saturday, an Australian news website reported that Jackie died in a car accident while he was in Queensland.

The report, it was revealed, has been taken from a Chinese online forum.

When asked to respond to the rumours, Jackie's representative replied, "This is frequent news. Up until now, how many times has Jackie died and come back to life?"

The actor is currently in Iceland filming "Kung Fu Yoga" alongside new leading lady, Bollywood actress Amyra Dastur.

Jackie has been the victim of death hoax a number of times, including in 2011 when he was reported to have died from a heart attack, and in 2013 when a tabloid wrote that he died while filming in Austria.
