Miley Cyrus Death Hoax Reports
Posted by
Miley Cyrus is not dead, despite several internet pranksters claiming otherwise.
Several rumors, planted on Digg.com and Wikipedia, claimed the 15-year-old died in a car crash on Friday, September 5.
As of Saturday morning, no such accident had been reported in any legitimate news source. The story is, 100%, a hoax.
One of the false reports, attributed to “Rueters” [sic], reads as follows:

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.
