Tweeters Mistaken — Ruby Dee Very Much Alive: 5 Black Celebrity Death Hoaxes

On March 24, 2011, a rumor originating from a fake news source reported that Jaden Smith had been killed in a snowboarding accident in Switzerland. Smith was alive and kicking and touring Europe with Justin Beiber.

The same rumor regained its legs again two months later.

Why someone would create a morbid hoax about any person’s life ending prematurely is impossible to understand, but when a young child is the target of the prank, one can only conclude that the mind behind the madness is seriously unstable.
