Well that was awkward! Hollywood actor's obituary published...despite the fact he's still alive and well!

How would you feel if you logged online for a look at the latest headlines and sports news...only to find out you had died, and an obituary of your own life.

If that not only confuses but also rather creeps you out, then please do spare a thought for Hollywood actor Kirk Douglas.

Despite the 93 year old being alive and well, the website People.com published an article with the headline 'DO NOT PUB Kirk Douglas Dies'. Whoops.

The articles opening paragraph said 'He was 97 (DOB 12/9/1916) and had been in good health...'. 

There are even reports the article has been online for TWO MONTHS, after it was reported the story was time stamped for Monday 29 September. I think it's safe to say people.com have most likely removed the story now...and even one of their staff, perhaps?!
