Hannah Montana’s Miley Cyrus Killed In Car Crash?
Sat, Sep 6, 2008
If you follow ‘news’ stories on sites such as Digg or Wikipedia then you may believe that Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana fame has been killed in a tragic car accident.
Of course the story isn’t true - it’s an internet hoax, much like the one that claimed Jared Fogle was dead - but that doesn’t stop people believing it and spreading the story around like crazy.
The hoax references a story that the writer falsely claims originated with Reuters (which they spelt ‘Rueters’) -
Actress Miley Cyrus Died in Terrible Car Accident
Teen star of the hit Disney television series “Hannah Montana” Miley Cyrus appears to have died in a tragic car accident in the early hours of Friday morning.
The young starlet was on her way to the filiming [sic] of the upcoming “Hannah Montanna” [sic] Series when her vehicle was reportedly hit by a large truck.
Witnesses estimate that the colliding vehicle was travelling [sic] at “At least 55mph” and had “Run a stop sign.”
Although rushed in a [sic] critical condition to Pacific Alliance Medical Centre [sic], the news broke quickly amongst reporters that the teen had succumbed to her injuries during surgery.
As you can tell from the above, the numerous spelling mistakes are not what you’d expect to see from an official Reuters report.
Additionally, the use of ‘centre’ is European, rather than the American ‘center’ so that is another ‘dead’ giveaway.

I almost cried when I thought this was true.
There are videos of people who really are crying over this hoax!
Why would someone joke about this?
That is a very good question that I, for one, cannot answer.
I thinking joking about people dying is pretty darn sick really. Glad she is ok.
Me too and, I agree, some hoaxes are funny but not the ones about people dying.
My kids love the Hannah Montana shows so I am quite relieved to know that they will continue.
Hopefully they will Kelly as 2 of my kids watch it on a regular basis too.
all you are about is your kids being able to watch the show??
thats the only reason your happy shes not dead??
Of course not, it’s great that another human being hasn’t died.
RIP
Very sad.
She hasn’t really died!
bigger than the GERARD WAY (my chemical romance) dead rumor that pops up every few months !!!
good thing some people check facts!
Yep, there are a lot of these sorts of rumors doing the rounds and this isn’t the first time that claims of Miley Cyrus’ death have circulated either.
some hoaxes are funny but not the ones about people dying.
I totally agree with that, in fact the ‘death hoaxes’ are somewhat sick.
Who would be so SICK to say that, poor miley.
She must fell like she wants to die now, people just gotta leave her alone.
She just wants to have a life, not be pronounced dead by an idiotic person- clearly with no life them selfs.
Leave her alone !
I do have to wonder what anyone gets out of spreading such false rumours?
yeah she is 15 but her birthday is october 15th
Thanks for clearing that up Daria, are you a fan?
I read somewhere that Miley is only 15, is that true?
Yeah, I believe it is Peter.
She is only 15 but I think I saw somewhere that she already has a car of her own. Worrying eh?
I saw a video of a Hannah Montana car on youtube a couple of days ago but I don’t think Miley has driven it has she?
im so shocked that hannah montana dead !!
She isn’t really dead davina - it was a hoax!!
im not dum she is not dead if she was dead how would she do all the newest shows
That’s a very good point, and one which many people appear to have overlooked.
but would kinda suck if she died but also they would sell billions of copys ogfher cds movies everything
Some cynics have suggested that Miley’s supposed death was merely a publicity stunt
I hope she ok!maybe someone crying because this video is so sad!
She’s fine - her ‘death’ was a hoax.
is she ok yesterday they told they dont know
Yes, she’s fine.
She has done about 2-4 new episodes about her ” death”.
Explain that. It really is a hoax….
I think…
You don’t seem too convinced?
Has she actually mentioned the car crash rumour in a recorded show?
I just heard about this in an email. Is she dead or alive?
Unless I’m very much mistaken then she is alive and well right now.
Please tell me this isnt true.
Ok… it isn’t true.
My 4-year-old,6-year-old and 8-year-old cousins are stripping now because of her that’s why we don’t watch hannah montana.They idolize her.I wish had never become one of those others.MY 10-year-old cousin is taking pics of her self naked.What do I do.Please help me.There parents are saying there going cry there eyes out because there’s nothin’ they can do about it.HEEELLLP!
As an uncaring male of the species I’m probably not the best person to give advice on that!!
My kids don’t watch HM any more so I’m not quite sure why anyone would want to strip to it???
i pity her…:))
Why is that epal?
IM A ANGRY MOM OF 2 DAUGHTERS who ever started this rumer should go to PRISON all the kids are crying over this im sure glad its not true my oldest child she is handicapped child she sings when shes on tv its cute were all glad shes alive and well—————–
I don’t care!my 4-year-old cousin is such a big miley fan she does WHATEVER she deos.She stripping.And this may sound like a lie but she singlehandedley put them on the web.I know shocking,right?
I can’t believe a 4 yr old would know how to do that :O
Why do people fall for these hoaxes???
Many reasons I think - sometimes because they sound plausible, or it could be because so many other people say they are true, etc, etc
