Despite whispers floating around this past weekend that Zach Braff committed suicide, Scrubs fans will be happy to know that the actor is, on the contrary, alive and well. The nasty rumor was a mere practical joke started by New Jersey resident Chris Langanella, who created a fake CNN to document the hoax.
Laganella has since apologized for the low blow, saying he made the page to fool his Scrubs-loving friends. I’m not sure how being a fan of a TV show translates to fake-axing off its star using a doctored website, but what I do know is some people really have too much time on their hands.
But Laganella didn’t get off that easy. The actor responded via video to explain how he’d do the deed if he were going to commit suicide, point out the fake article’s inaccuracies and dis the guy for upsetting his mom. Zach Braff: 1. Chris Laganella: -1,000.
Check out Braff’s video response (and a special cameo at the end) below.

Fabulous. Zach Braff = Win.
100% worth watching for the Donald Faison cameo at the end.
TurkandJD lives!!!
Suddenly now I remember why I alwasy liked the few episodes of Scrubs that I’ve actually seen. These two are great, Chris is an idiot and Zach and Donal rule!
I love Zach Braff and Donald Faison. That was a great response. What a cruel prank though. I’m sure the kid did not intend for it to spread as far as it did, but can you imagine the panic stricken friends and family when they may have read or heard that. That is really truly an awful thing to do. Zack handled it well. If someone had done that to me, I may not have been as nice.
While I don’t want it to happen anytime soon, I now want to attend Zach Braff’s funeral very badly. He and Donald Faison are awesome.
PERFECT response from Zach.
It’s a good thing I didn’t hear about this before seeing this vid b/c I would have been REALLY upset. I love Zach Braff!! And Donald has a beautiful singing voice. who knew?
I like that Zach Braff is alive.
He gets a “like” from me. Chris Laganella = tool.
ha ha ha ha…”urbaning it up”…Nice job, Zack. You handled it beautifully.
On a side note, I can’t WAIT for Scrubs to come back.

Love Turk and JD. And it looks like Zach and Donald are pretty tight. Love Donald’s urban singing. If only he could dance to it at the same time, then it would be epic!
