Famous Actor Nicolas Cage Passed Away in July 2016 in a Road Accident

Listen to this article

A message was circulated widely on Facebook in the month of July 2016 indicating that famous actor Nicolas Cage passed away in a deadly motorcycle accident. Point to be noted that the statement of the posted article claimed that Nicolas Cage died from a skiing accident and transferred by a ski patrol to a nearby local hospital.  The specific part of this statement related to a ski accident circulated online for the last several years. A website “Global Associated News” also claimed in 2013 that Nicolas Cage died in a snowboarding accident. Another image supposedly showing the scene of a motorcycle crash was widely circulated online regarding the death of Nicolas Cage.

It is important that the scene in this image of a motorcycle crash was not real and we found that Nicolas Cage was not involved in this scene. The showing image of a motorcycle crash was captured in 2011 after an incident of the death of a 22-years old Navy sailor. But, the rumors claimed that famous actor Nicolas Cage passed away in a motorcycle accident. We found that this hoax was generated by a website “Viralvines.site”. This website was responsible for spread of death hoaxes for various famous celebrities such as famous wrestler Vin Diesel and John Cena. It has been proved that famous actor Nicolas Cage didn’t die in the month of July 2016 in a snowboarding accident or a motorcycle accident.
