The reported death of Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci due to complications from a dozen cosmetic surgeries has turned out to be a fabrication, according to a recent update.
There are even doubts about whether Saint Von Colucci even existed, according to a TMZ article.
The 23-year-old actor who allegedly got the procedures was cast as a member of the popular BTS boy band in a South Korean TV drama, according to the story's first publication in The Daily Mail, which quoted a representative claiming to represent him. Several media sources, including TMZ, also covered the incident.
The cosmetic procedures reportedly included lip reduction, a facelift, a nose job, jaw implants, eyebrow lifts, and eye lifts.
Who was responsible for the hoax and their intentions are unknown as of this reporting.

The 'Saint Von Colucci Story'
Recent reports cite Colucci's publicist Eric Blake, claiming that the actor relocated to South Korea from Canada in 2019 to seek a career in the K-Pop industry. Twelve cosmetic operations totaling $220,000 were performed on Saint Von Colucci, including a facelift, lip reduction, eye lift, and other minor surgeries, per NDTV.
The actor's natural hair color was dark blond, and his eyes were blue before surgery. He stood at six feet.
Saint Von Colucci was informed of the hazards associated with the jaw implant operation, but he was "insecure about his looks" and insisted on going forward with the treatment, according to the publicist.
Colucci was slated to make his K-pop debut over the summer with his first mini-album, "T1K T0K H1GH SCH00L," according to a press release issued by IBG in January 2022 through EIN Presswire, which Manila Bulletin cited in its report.
It stated that Saint Von Colucci is a 23-year-old Canadian who was born in Quebec and relocated to South Korea to work as an agent trainee. He made his acting and modeling debuts in Canada in 2015, and as a result of his parents' employment, which necessitated him to move abroad, he has acquired fluency in five languages, including English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Korean.
