Does anyone know if Kal Penn from House is really dead or just his character?

KAL PENNS DEATH: FACT OR FICTION??

http://www.mahalo.com/Lawrence_Kutner
this site shows the following so if these ARE FACTS as it says then yes..

Fast Facts
33 years old at time of death
Debut: "The Right Stuff" on October 2, 2007
Final appearance: "Simple Explanation" on April 6, 2009
One of five fellows eventually hired by Dr. House
Specialist in Sports Medicine
Graduate of University of California at Berkeley
Adopted
Birth parents were killed during a convenience store robbery
Nicknamed "Former Foster Kid" and "Oliver Twist" by House

its all a little confusing but I do hope the "Fast Facts" mean facts of the SHOW.
Blessed Be

The character in the show died. But not the actor. He is persuing other paths.

I could find no news of his actual death. However, I did find an NPR article from last week, which would have been after the show was filmed, that talked of Kal Penn in the present tense. If he were dead, there would be at least one obituary online.

dude just like in csi when that one guy died supposedly (they actually canceled his contract because he was caught with something to do with drugs) in breach of contract as they call it but anyway suicide= people watching which means people watching = money$$$$$$ also the suicide agency got to put up that message perfect timing because of the rescission were in.

his contract might of ended and he didnt want to sign another contract because he wanted to take a break

Rest easy Kal Penn fans, he is not dead just his character. He actually quit the show to move to bigger and better things.

"Kal Penn is jumping from one House to another, having recently accepted a position as the associate director for the White House office of public liaison. I don't really know what that means, but apparently he'll be working with real people through various charities and organizations, and representing President Obama while doing it."

I'm certain that it is just the character who is dead.

I haven't heard anything about Kal Penn's death, and it would have been in the news already if it were true, since the episodes have to be filmed in advance (i.e. it wouldn't be breaking news).

Also, I Googled his name (regular search and News) and looked on wikipedia and nothing came up to suggest that that he actually died.

This is Kutner's "memorial" page: http://www.fox.com/kutner/
I don't think Fox would have made a page for the character if Kal Penn were actually dead. That would just be messed up.

Also, this site mentions an interview with Penn about the twist, so I think it's safe to say Penn is well and alive: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/04/house-spoiler-a.html

His myspace page shows a last login of today. 4/6/09

No word if it is official or not.

His departure from the show however was very upsetting.

Kind Regards,
XDS

Also, if you take a look at his twitter account you can see that there has been no escaping him and his recent humor.

He's not gone !
