Misha Collins

 

“Misha Collins dead 2014" 

News of actor Misha Collins’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the September 2014 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his role on the television series Supernatural is alive and well.

 Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Misha Collins’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing.

 

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 40-year-old actor was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Misha Collins' stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (73%) of respondents think those Misha Collins death rumors are not funny anymore.

 On Thursday (September 25) the actor's reps officially confirmed that Misha Collins is not dead. 

 

“He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

 

Misha Collins Got Supernatural Fans to Completely Take Over the Internet

 

This is the fourth year that the Supernatural star hosted GISHWHES, which boils down to thousands of people around the world forming teams of 15 and performing weird, random and fun tasks in the name of breaking some Guinness World Records...and donating tens of thousands of dollars to the charity Random Acts and committing thousands of charitable actions around the world, but hey, who's counting?
However, despite the good natured intentions with which Supernatural's fan-favorite angel created GISHWHES, things took a turn for the downright demonic this year (sorry, those puns were just too easy). The temptation of the grand prize (Collins flies the winning team to an island in Croatia for a vacation with him) was too much for some teams to resist, and even though Collins expressly writes rules about keeping everything positive during GISHWHES some participants started getting negative.
