Fraudsters often fake the deaths of well-known personalities. Will Smith is currently said to have died along with his son.

A CNN video breaks the news, along with other videos showing adult content. Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith are said to have died in a car accident.

Is that really true?

It's about this dubious website:

BREAKING NEWS: WilI Smith and his son Jaden Smith DlED in a crash after an ultimate car and truck collision.
| CNN News Willard Carroll Smith Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor and rapper. In April 2007, Newsweek called him “the most powerful actor in Hollywood”. Smith has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.

In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince.
In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the NBC television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran for six seasons from 1990 to 1996. After the series ended, Smith transitioned from television to film and went on to star in numerous blockbuster films. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the domestic box office, eleven consecutive films gross over $150 million internationally, and eight consecutive films in which he starred open at the number one spot in the domestic box office tally. Smith has been ranked as the most bankable star worldwide by Forbes. As of 2014, 17 of the 21 films in which he has had leading roles have accumulated worldwide gross earnings of over $100 million each, with five taking in over $500 million each in global box office receipts. As of 2016, his films have grossed $7.5 billion at the global box office. For his performances as boxer Muhammad Ali in Ali (2001) and stockbroker Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), Smith received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

The fact check

Rumors keep circulating that Will Smith has died. ( we reported )

The well-known actor and his son Jaden Smith did not die in a car accident in December 2019. The supposed CNN video posted on the website that purports to show the Smiths' "shocking death" is fake. It is a lure that leads to a dubious website.

Conclusion:

Will Smith and his son are doing well. They are both doing well and have not been involved in any car accidents.

The creators behind this claim are trying to lure the user to a dubious website where spyware or other malicious software lurks. Turning a living person into a dead person in order to lure users into a trap is the bottom drawer: We recommend that you do not visit this website and do not click on anything that is displayed there!
