Japanese actor Leo Morimoto has died, with reports describing an unexplained sudden death. Following the news, false information about him spread online, prompting outlets to separate confirmed facts from debunked rumors.

Why now: His sudden death prompted an outpouring of interest and a wave of both rumors and retrospectives about his life and controversies.
