Origin of Story – Celine Dion Dies in a Car Crash
The likely source of the claims is a news report on Global Associated News website. Although the news report and the website appear genuine, the stories reported are hoax. There are no credible reports about any car crash of Celine Dion or death. Global Associated News is in fact a fake news website with a fake, generic template that is only meant for entertainment. The website publishes fabricated stories, which are in fact auto-generated from time to time. Note, Celine Dion, a woman, is referred as ‘he’ in story part of the article. Moreover, the website also has a disclaimer at the bottom saying:
about this web site. FAKE… THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic ‘template’ and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank ‘non-specific’ template for the purpose of entertainment.

FakeAWish website is in fact a celebrity fake news hoax generator. The car crash picture (shown above) often appears with hoax stories like this. It is actually from a flip over incident on the West Side Highway in New York back in August 2011. There were no injuries in the crash. The Global Associated News earlier reported similar death hoax stories about Jackie Chan and Ray Lewis. So, Celine Dion did not die in any car crash; she is very much alive!
