Another famous celebrity is Justin Bieber who has also had his name uncomfortably plastered next to the word death all across social media. The teen sensation has been the subject of numerous false reports of his untimely death. Reports came out earlier this year that Bieber had been shot in a New York nightclub and overdosing on drugs are two popular ones that seem to spread rapidly among fans and media outlets.
There was even a false article, supposedly published by Fox News online, that the star was dead. Fox denied ever creating the story, and the hoax website has since been taken down, but it was enough to cause Snopes.com to investigate.
All this begs the question, how do celebrity death hoaxes begin? What's your take on them? Let us know your thoughts?
