The Will Smith Malicious Facebook Death Hoax

The negligence of the doctor with medication overdose was blamed to be the cause of his death.

This Facebook post is a trick to lure persons to a malicious Facebook application by claiming that they can watch the full CCTV video of the surgery via a camera installed in the operating room. This application will ask you to give it access to your Facebook account, which it will use to send the same hoax to all of your Facebook friends.
If you install the malicious Facebook application (DO NOT) by giving it permission to your Facebook account, you will be asked to download a "Facebook Media Plug-in", which the hoax claims you will need in order to view the CCTV video of the surgery.
But, there is no video and as I have said before, Will Smith is alive. If you install the so-called "Facebook Media Plug-in" by clicking on the link, you will install a malicious computer program that will infect your computer with a virus or Trojan horse.
