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:

I can't believe that anyone would think of anything horrible like that. Napoleon Dynamite wasn't just a hiraliously funny movie; it was also one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year last year as well. And Jon Heder receives all of the credit for it. So, why doesn't everybody just shut their gosh-durn mouths and give the guy a break for once.

Who would take a website called "Ninja Pirate" as a reliable source, when the info has not been in the real news? By real I mean sites that do not deal with ninjas or pirates.

ok, did he die or not? eff i heard so many rumors that he did, even one of my teachers told the class

but he could just be reading all the internet bullshit...but i'm sure that if he did die, according to that site, on the way home from a movie premiere, someone would find out and it would definitely be all over the papers and tv channels, so i think...its all BULLSHIT! but if he did die..i would be so sad =(

Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

Rex: At Rex Kwan Do, we use the buddy system. No more flying solo. You need somebody watching your back at all times. Second off, you're gonna learn to discipline your image. You think I got where I am today because I dressed like Peter Pan over here?
[points to Napoleon]
Rex: Take a look at what I'm wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it. Last off, my students will learn about self respect. You think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night? Forget about it!

yeah so i was sitting there in math class, when suddenly i overheard some people chatting it up about Napoleon dynamite, and i smiled to myself in personal happiness of the greatness of Napoleon dynamite.Then i realized that one of them mentioned that Napoleon died from overdosing on cocaine!! INSANENESS! right away i knew it couldnt possibly be true, because if he had, then the earth would shake and ligtning would strike and volcanoes would erupt. so, therefore, in conclusion, Napoleon Dynamite is not dead.
ze end

Jon Heder is certainly dead. He died in a five-way car crash among Paul Mcartney, the ghost Elvis, John Goodman, and Louie Anderson. Next time check the facts, it's all there.

Allright. The myth of Jon Heder's death, I'd heard last night from a bunch of drunk friends. I didn't believe what I was hearing because first of all, even though on that NinjaPirate site it said his parents were trying to keep it from the media. The media would have gotten ahold of that story really quick. American media thrives on this type of thing, so as soon as it happened. About an hour later, a reporter listening in on police radio would check out the scene, realize it was Jon Heder, and then report it recieving a substantial amount of money. Therefore it'd be all over. However the only source it was heard from was this website. Secondly, if the publisher of this website wanted to be taken seriously, he would not have included the little cartoons of the deer in the background and not photoshopped Heder's picture on top of the wrecked car. This to me is completely illegitimate, and phony. And I'm hoping by typing this response, it will allow many others to see this. The evidence to back up the claim of Heder's death is non existent. Another reason not to believe is that he is currently working on other films. If you check out
http://www.imdb.com and search Jon Heder, you will see this.
Hope this clears everything up.
