Usher dies in car crash?

Usher dead after a car accident?
R&B singer Usher died in a car crash on Tuesday, April 10, according to the Global Associated News website.

The problem is it is a hoax website known to falsely report the deaths of celebrities. It allows users to plug an actor's name into a generator that creates their own celebrity death headlines.

Here's an excerpt of the fabricated Usher death report:
Usher died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics responding to the vehicle accident and was identified by photo ID found on his body. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in this accident.

Highway Safety Investigators have told reporters that Usher lost control while driving a friend's vehicle on Interstate 80 and rolled the vehicle several times killing him instantly.

The vehicle was believed to have been traveling at approximately 95 miles per hour in a 55mph zone at the time of the accident. 
Again, the story is 100% false.

Usher is alive and well. In fact, he just tweeted, "I must've died and went to heaven...Alive and cold kickin ass!!"
