Is Will Smith dead?

-
I saw something like this on my friend's facebook page (Gone too soon. Will Smith(1968-2014) and decided to check online only for me to see the image below, then i decided to find out what the hoax is all about.. Read and feel the gap.

Origins:   In October 2013, Facebook users began seeing purported posts from news outlets teasing the story that Will Smith had died in surgery after an accident befell him while he was filming the movie Hancock 2 and offering links to a video report on the subject:
Hollywood Press: Will Smith has just been pronounced dead after undergoing an immediate spinal surgery caused by an accident while filming Hancock 2 (2014). The negligence of the doctor with medication overdose was blamed to be the cause of his death. Watch the full video of CCTV cam installed in the operating room where he was admitted:
No such tragic fate has befallen the popular actor, however. Not only are the accounts of his death a hoax, but those reports are being spread by a malicious Facebook app. When users are tricked into clicking through on these fake "R.I.P. Will Smith" posts to see the promised news videos, they end up installing a rogue app that posts the same very thing to other Facebook pages in their name.

"I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most.

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi
