Brendon McCullum furious with false reports of his brother's death
A bizarre online rumour that Nathan McCullum had died proved to be false and his brother Brendon McCullum reacted angrily on social media.
Brendon McCullum has vowed to track down the person who falsely claimed his brother and ex-New Zealand all-rounder Nathan McCullum had died.
A report claiming the elder McCullum brother had died was rubbished by the 38-year-old on Twitter as he uploaded a photo and declared himself "alive and kicking more than ever before".
The false report reached former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum as he was flying back to New Zealand having competed in the T10 League in the United Arab Emirates.

He also dismissed the erroneous rumour regarding his brother on social media and promised to find the person who spread it.
"Tonight someone decided, via social media, to release that my brother passed away," Brendon McCullum wrote.
"I'm on a flight back to New Zealand and my heart broke! None of it is true! Whoever put this out there, I'll find you! Somewhere, somehow."
