Avril Lavigne Latest Death Hoax Victim

Truth rating: 0

Avril Lavigne is the latest victim of a sick, FAKE death hoax.

According to yet another gross prank from Global Associated News, “Musician Avril Lavigne is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today -January 2, 2011.”

Lavigne is NOT dead.

The FAKE report claims that while at the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, north of Vancouver in British Columbia, Lavigne lost control of her snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed… Lavigne was air lifted by ski patrol teams to a local hospital, however, it is believed that that the musician died instantly from the impact of the crash.”

So, does this rumor sound familiar?

It should.

Much like last week’s rumors about Owen Wilson dying while snowboarding, Eddie Murphy passing away, Adam Sandler having died, and  the same disgusting rumor about Charlie Sheen – this is NOT TRUE.

Lavigne is VERY MUCH ALIVE.

Three weeks ago, there was an equally vile death prank about Morgan Freeman, and this morning there was a death hoax about Aretha Franklin.

These hoaxes have happened many times before.

They’re not funny. They’re not cool. They’re not entertaining.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Gossip Cop is at a total loss as to why anyone would concoct phony fatalities, and sincerely hopes the only thing that dies out are these horrible hoaxes.

    With everybody being a blogger nowadays, I am not surprised. But people should be skeptical of these reports. I don’t truly believe a rumor to be true until one of the mainstream media reports on it.
