Patrick Swayze has hit out at false reports that he has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.
The actor moved swiftly on Tuesday to deny a Florida radio station's claim that he had died.
His representative told People.com, "Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning, contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Florida. Patrick Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment."
It's not the first false report the 56-year-old actor has been forced to dispute since he was diagnosed with cancer last year.
Back in March, he asked publications to "think twice about printing inaccuracies and painting an unpleasant picture when I have so much to be thankful for at this time."
