The latest celebrity to die an online death at the hands of the rumormonger is the ‘Slim Shady’ star Eminem. Strong rumors have been floating around on the Internet that the singer is dead. But they are not true, as Eminem is very much alive and continues to make music like always. He’s currently selling a re-released version of his Relapse album called “Relapse: Refill” which was doing well on the charts.

According to sources, the death rumor says that his car came “face to face with a trailer”. And then his car tail-spinned and smashed into the oncoming trailer, in a brutal accident. And the rumor goes on to say that before the singer could be taken to the hospital he died from shock induced by heavy bleeding due to the accident. However his fans needn’t despair, as he is very much alive and working on his music. All these are baseless rumors that get started on the Internet and then in a domino effect, they spread all over, and as they spread the news becomes bigger and more details get added to the original rumor.

This rumor is being suspected that it started on the social networking site- Twitter. And it is certainly not the first time that Twitter has created death rumors for several celebrities now, like Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift and more recently- Eminem.
