Was browsing a site before on fake deaths posted on the net/papers which was pretty interesting and I found this:
The 'False Death Report' is a centuries-old favorite of pranksters. The basic premise of it goes like this: report the death of someone who's actually still alive. Hilarity ensues. At least, that's the theory.
In recent years an increasingly popular target of this prank has been celebrities. Why? I'm not quite sure. Perhaps just because they're famous. Or perhaps because some people derive a peculiar satisfaction from fantasizing about the deaths of musicians and actors. The celebrities who are falsely reported dead at least have the consolation of knowing that they're popular enough to warrant being the target of this prank. As Michael Heaton of the Cleveland Plain Dealer has eloquently put it: "It is the zenith of cultural obsession to have false rumors of someone's death spread like goose grease across the land."
Whatever the reason may be behind this phenomenon, in recent years a slew of celebrities have been hastened prematurely to their graves. This list includes:
Rap star Eminem. In December 2000 news reports claimed that he was the victim of a car crash.
Suzanne Shaw of the band Hear'Say. In May 2001 the BBC reported she had been found dead in her home.
Rock legend Lou Reed. In May 2001 numerous radio stations reported he had been found dead in his apartment. Cause of death: Drug overdose.
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. In June 2001 a Los Angeles radio station reported that the couple had died together in a car crash (just like Eminem). It was a really bad year death-wise for Britney Spears because in October her death was reported again. Once more it was an automobile accident that did her in. In this second case a twenty-two-year-old hacker named Tim Fries managed to make it appear as if the report of her death was on CNN's website, thus adding far more credibility to the story.
Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. A notice on the internet claimed he had died "while being filmed parachuting from a biplane whilst eating a catering sized tub of Heinz baked beans, when his parachute failed to open."
Athlete Carl Lewis. In July 2003 he was reported to have been killed in a bicycle accident. The fake report was actually written by a biking enthusiast to draw attention to an abutment in a Houston park that he considered dangerous.
Michael Jackson. Supposedly committed suicide in April 2004 by "consuming more than two-dozen sleeping pills," according to an internet report.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. A fake news story (disguised as a page from the Guardian) reported the passing of the Iron Lady. As a tribute to her, Stephen Hawking was supposedly going to speak in her voice.
Napoleon Dynamite star Jon Heder. An email rumor claimed he crashed and died while driving to Oregon. It partially read: "John Heder, lead role in Napoleon Dynamite, died of head injuries after undergoing a highway car accident two days ago. He was riding in the passenger seat on his way to Salem, Oregon with his friend Mike McHill when the driver supposedly saw a deer run in front of the car. Mike overcorrected and drove off a steep ten foot embankment after rolling three or four times."
Actor John Goodman. An obituary that circulated by email in January 2005 claimed he had collapsed from a heart attack.
American Idol anti-hero William Hung. The source of his false death report was a faux-news piece on the site Broken Newz. He was said to have OD'd from heroin, leaving a suicide note that read: "I have no reason of living... my art which is my importance to the best everybody laugh to... I make end here... goodbye world of cruel."
Actor Will Ferrell. An obituary uploaded to the wire service iNewswire in March 2006 claimed that the comedian had died in a paragliding accident "after a freak wind gush basically blew Ferrell and his companion towards a wooded area where they lost control before crashing into dense foilage."
So, have you found any fake info that could be an interesting read?
