Macaulay Culkin is NOT dead: Rumors about the former child star revealed to be false. A story that child star Macaulay Culkin had been found dead has proven to be false. Just seven months after a similar rumor found its way on the Internet, some outlets reported that the body of the Home Alone star was discovered in his New York City Apartment on Friday.
The suit was settled in April 1997 and several of the Culkin children publicly stated that they were relieved to be out from under their father's control. Macaulay's younger brothers Rory and Kieran followed in his footsteps and are successful film actors in their own right. In 1998 at the age of 17, Macaulay married 17-year-old actress Rachel Miner, but the marriage dissolved in 2000. He returned to acting in 2001, performing in London in the play Madame Melville.
