LOS ANGELES, CA – HollywoodLife.com sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry this week by publishing a detailed obituary for actor Corey Parker, best known for roles in 'Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning' and 'Will & Grace' (where he allegedly played Grace's boyfriend, Josh). The only catch? Mr. Parker, according to multiple sources including his own social media, is very much alive and well.

The article, titled 'Who Was Corey Parker? 5 Things to Know About the ‘Will & Grace’ Actor Who Died,' claimed Parker passed away in March 2026 after a battle with cancer. "We're pioneering a new form of journalism," explained a spokesperson for the publication, who wished to remain anonymous. "It's about getting ahead of the curve. Why wait for someone to die when you can mourn them two years in advance? It builds anticipation."

Critics, however, pointed out several inconsistencies, primarily that Josh from 'Will & Grace' was played by Josh Lucas, and Corey Parker is a different, living actor. "It's a bold strategy, Cotton," commented veteran publicist Brenda Sterling. "Usually, we wait for the actual death. And the correct actor. But hey, maybe they're just trying to manifest a new timeline."

Mr. Parker himself has not yet commented on his untimely, future demise, presumably because he's busy not being dead. The outlet has since removed the article, likely to refine their temporal reporting algorithms.
