Patrick Swayze Still Alive

Contrary to a round of rumors that began circulating early Tuesday morning, actor Patrick Swayze is still very much alive. A radio station in Jacksonville, Fla. is responsible for the rumor, claiming that Swayze passed away in his sleep. The actor's rep confirmed to People magazine that Swayze is feeling well and is in good spirits.

"This is to confirm that 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," said Annett Wolf, the actor's rep.

Specific information regarding the Jacksonville radio station has not been released to the public.

In 2008, Swayze, 56, announced his battle with stage four pancreatic cancer. In July 2008, he began filming the A&E series, The Beast. The actor worked 12-hour long days, while still undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
