- I found a YouTube video claiming that Simon Cowell has suddenly died from a car accident. I will be fact checking to confirm whether this information is real or fake.

2. The YouTube channel that published this video is called “Deceased Stars”. The channel does NOT have a check mark next to it.
3. I conducted research on the channel and found that all the videos are the same, except the headlines are different and they talk about a different celebrity supposedly “dead”. It is very suspicious because they do not source their resources in their description, and they show no evidence in the videos. I know I cannot trust this channel.
4. I also used Snopes.com to check to see if the video was real. I was able to find out that no credible reporters on any entertainment sources had mentioned anything about his death. Being as famous as Simon Cowell, his death would be all over the news within a matter of hours. Therefore, I concluded that the video was indeed, fake.

5. I wanted to double check to confirm that his death was just a hoax, and it was.
