Emma Watson Dies in Car Accident? – 4Chan Hoax
Jul 24, 2009 - By Mali Elfman
update – we are pretty sure We are now positive this is a hoax, we’ve spoken to Emma’s publicist who in no uncertain terms clarified she is alive and kicking. Seems this was a hoak started by the infamous member’s of 4chan – You can now go back to enjoying our Comic Con 2009 coverage instead…
——-
Pretty sure this is a big fat f-ing rumor. I wouldn’t even write anything up about this because I’m 99% positive it’s fake, but there are whispers around the web and just in case I thought we should mention it. The rumor is that Emma Watson, better known from the Harry Potter series as Hermione Granger was killed in car accident last night. The reported started by YouTube via the website vmecritical.com (which I recommend not visiting unless you want to be spammed for life.
Here is what they reported…
Emma Watson dies on scene of fatal car collision
1 hour agoLos Angeles, CA- Millions are in shock after Emma Watson died overnight in a car crash. The 19 year-old actress, most famous for her roles in the Harry Potter films, was killed while being driven back to hotel after a screening of her latest movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when a car collided with her vehicle. Watson is reported to have died at the scene. Her relatives have so far refused to comment, only quoting that they are ‘too distraught’ to speak with the media.
Police are questioning witnesses about two men who reportedly fled the scene following the crash. The two men are said to be in their early twenties, one caucasian and the other hispanic. Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities immediately.”
What do you think? I smell big fat rumor bullshit. Can anyone send me a reliable news source that has confirmed or denied?

WEST HOLLYWOOD — 19 year old Emma Watson was confirmed dead early this morning after being struck by a suspected drunk driver while riding home from a BAFTA screening of her latest movie.
Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, said that "…it was a very sad way to pass. As no foul play is suspected, there are no plans for an autopsy."
L.A. County Fire officials announced that Watson was pronounced on scene, before being transported to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Staying only a few blocks away from where the BAFTA screening occurred, Watson's vehicle was stricken by a drunk driver running a red light, crashing into the passenger side of the vehicle. She was reported to be not wearing her seatbelt and was ejected on impact.
So far no statement has been made by Warner Brothers.
Jay Barrymore, Watson's boyfriend, was in the back seat of the car when they were struck. He is listed as in stable condition.
An anonymous source states, "We all saw it. She had been inside answering questions on a panel, and then she was one of the first ones to leave. All of us were walking out with the rest of the actors when we heard the crash down the block. We didn't think anything of it until we heard Jay screaming."
"Anyone with information about the crash is encouraged to contact the L.A. County Sheriff's Office. Witnesses have reported that the vehicle striking Watson's car had two male occupants; a Caucasian driver and Hispanic passenger. They were last seen driving east on Beverly Boulevard in a dark colored truck."

I just read a dozen articles online that say it's fake. and not a single one appears on google news about it being true. if it was on the radio then simply bc they read it online. it has happened before…miley cyrus anyone?
Friday, July 24, 2009 7:22PM
lol, the girl's been filming in UK for weeks. Why would she be in LA when the filming is on the high now?
Some people really need to start living their life lol. 
Friday, July 24, 2009 8:06PM
Hey, don't worry! Emma Watson is alive. Rick Astley is alive. Miley is doing great. And Lil Wayne is still kicking well.
Friday, July 24, 2009 9:25PM
I don't think that's true 'cause I found totally nothing about Emma's death on New York Times. I don't think the reporters wouldn't know that if Emma's died.
The news is true, truly fake:)
Friday, July 24, 2009 10:12PM
you know, kitkat has a point why the f*** is she in LA when she is currently promoting her film in the UK??? AND she is also filming the next harry potter film which is ASLO in the UK
Saturday, July 25, 2009 12:03AM
this is so not true!! if Emma was dead it would be in the news. She is alive and well.
Friday, July 24, 2009 5:34PM
want more proof that this is fake;
1. If it was in LA, the news obviously wouldve broken out in the US…LA is in the US right?
2. the article says “million are in shock”…really?…millions?…not 1 newstation reported it but millions are in shock?
FAKE

you don't need more proof. *lol* it was like what? more than a day ago? apart from the contradictions in the article, there's no way this wouldn't have been reported until now.
Saturday, July 25, 2009 10:40AM

Saturday, July 25, 2009 10:41AM

Saturday, July 25, 2009 6:05PM
If she died…. it would be a reallllyyy big thing… Right now i hear nothing from the news, researching for the news on the internet and I got no results at all… It's a rumor and Emma is alive!
Saturday, July 25, 2009 6:05PM
This is sick. Only an incredibly stupid person with no life of their own would come up with this one.
Sunday, July 26, 2009 5:06PM
Are you crazy.Of course it's fake.If you don't believe me look at her site http://www.emmawatsonofficial.com where Jo says everything about that fake death rumour.
And don't say anything if you are not sure.And don't believe in everything you hear on TV or Radio.

go 4chan.

In "Order of the Phoenix", this blogger should say "I must not tell lies"! If this is blogger is messing with our minds, I hope my best friend Lee doesn't hear this. If it was him, he would rather say "You mess with fire, your going to get burned" or "Go fuck yourself". The world loves Emma and we don't want to see this happen. For me, I'm going through a lot this year, my good friend Jason Wren passed away on University of Kansas campus in March and my dance idol Michael Jackson passed away unexpected last June. I don't want to lose Emma too. So 4chan, tell everyone in the world that this is a "fake story".
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 5:13AM
THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!
Only a fool would create something like this and only a fool would believe it's true!
I'm not a fool.

she is alive cuz i just saw an interview with her for hp 6 just a few days ago and im looking at pictures of her on the set of deathy hallows. Emma is 100% alive. I hate the person that started this awful rumor. Besides, if Emma had really died, she would be on the radio, tv, in the newspaper, shes a huge celebrity. I havent seen it anywhere that its true she died. And y would she be in L.A. if she filmed hbp in UK?
