Napoleon Dynamite Star Not Dead
The latest celebrity death rumor going around is that Jon Heder, star of Napoleon Dynamite, died in a car accident while driving with a friend to Salem, Oregon. A website making this claim is here. People have also been speculating about this rumor on the IMDB message boards (Thanks to Ana for the link). Jon Heder, of course, is not dead (unless that person who looks like him and has been making media appearances is just an imposter). Michael Heaton, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, noted in a recent column that he had heard the 'Heder is Dead' rumor from his daughter. Which prompted him to comment that "It is the zenith of cultural obsession to have false rumors of someone's death spread like goose grease across the land."Posted By: Alex | Date: Fri Feb 18, 2005 | Permalink |

he did not die....i didnt belive it from the start. this kind of thing has happened before its just a silly prank that some corrupted weirdo started to make this controversy spread. well it did. they successeded. but i have looked all over the news and i havent found anything but those two websites. i looked on all the news websites, even the mtvnews and i found nothing. "The tragedy hasn't hit the media yet because Heder's parents wish to keep it undisclosed for as long as possible" the media doesnt care. theyd be all over the story. the mother couldnt control that.
so, i really dont think he died. he couldnt have. plus that ninjapirate website was kinda stupid and harsh if he died its not something to joke about

Alex, please never write about teen stars again. I think this was the biggest stampede of stupidity I have ever seen in the comments of your site. Some of them were so ridiculous I had trouble figuring out if it was parody or not.
It didn't seem like anyone got that upset when Johnny Carson died. At least he had more of a career than one movie.

Who ever thinks that Jon Heder is dead is a bum with a bowstaff stuck up it! Omg! You people are so retardedly ill to think that... and if Jon did die.... We don't wanna go there cuz we wouldn't want him to die! I Love this guy... and honestly he made this movie a movie! And without Jon header Napoleon wouldnt be Napoleon... he would be....IDK! but it wouldn't be the same... So who ever made up this thing should get a bowstaff stuck up their bum!

To those of you that believe the rumor, when the fuck is the last time a highly acclaimed celebrity died and there wasn't a single newspaper article, or television report, and all you had was some corny looking blog almost poking fun at his death...AND YOU BELIEVE IT?! I swear to God people, if he died, it would have been everywhere, they say Napoleon Dynamite is bigger then The Godfather and it's on its way to becomming a cult classic, and, oh yeah, the star just died and no one cares except a shitty gossip site...hmmm

MTV news on Friday said something along the lines of "...It is rumored that Jon Heder, star of one of the biggest films since Lord of the Rings, Napoleon Dynamite, has passed away after suffering injuries to the head in a terrible car accident. At this point not much else is being disclosed about the accident, but no assumptions can be made just yet..."

Oh my gosh, I will flippin' flip out at you guys cause youre retarded. Nap Dyn is like the ultimate medieval warrior, a car crash, drug overdose, or whatever could not flippin hurt him or his excellent skills. once again, flippin idiots.

VOTE FOR PEDRO!

VOTE FOR PEDRO!
Come on people, use some common sense. Anyone who has ever had to do research to write a paper knows about a thing called "legitimate sources" (i.e. sources where information is known to be true). For those of you who truly believe that Jon Heder is dead, I hate to break it to you, but ninjapirate is not a legitimate source. And although he sites another news source (Zimm News), he does not provide a last name of the author (which is sketchy), and, I ran a google search on Zimm News and came up with nothing. Clearly this is just some juvenile prank by an inconsiderate punk who deserves no respect, trying to get hits on his website.

Pedro, In case you aren't able to READ this string and associated posts' the majority of people here at MOH don't believe this story at all. If you want to call people names shouldn't you be directing it at http://www.ninjapirates.com? That pretty much goes for everyone... noone believes it. Just because it was posted here doesn't mean MOH is responsible for the posting. The people at that site are just as stupid as the people with the sites about Paul McCartney being dead. They need something to fill up there otherwise empty lives, something to get a kick out of... like pissing all you people off. Seems to have worked, not that we think they're cool or anything, but if their objective was to start a rumor and piss a lot of people off and sit back and watch them rant and rave (mostly in the wrong direction) then it would seem they're getting quite the laugh at your expense huh? Don't acknowledge them, and most of all, provide NO hits for their STUPID website. By the way Pedro, not that we think he's passed, but just because someone was on T.V. sometime in the past or present doesn't PROVE that they're aren't currently deceased. Most (99%) T.V. shows are "taped" including the Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno. It would be possible, but isn't the case, that he appeared on the show (taped at 4pm) and had an accident later that evening, and could indeed be deceased and NBC wouldn't have enough time to replace the airing. Correct? I just saw Johnny Carson on there a few nights ago... does that mean he's not deceased as well? What's the vote for by the way... if it's Village Idiot then you get both our votes. Peace all, calm down, he's still here...
