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.
After flops such as The Nutcracker (1993), Getting Even With Dad (1994) and Richie Rich (1994), and amid rumors that Culkin's father was a demanding figure not only at home but that he often disrupted filming on Macaulay's movies with outrageous demands, Culkin's career took a downswing.
