And, as those who follow Simon Cowell know, this isn’t his first rodeo making headlines for being dead.

Simon Cowell Killed In Death Hoax Again
According to Vera Files, there are concerning photos of Simon Cowell looking pretty banged up in a hospital bed on Facebook. The photos include a tagline alluding to the fact that Simon Cowell is dead. The taglines, however, do not reveal much information and include “see more” which is hyperlinked to a news article to get all the info.
Fortunately, fans of the music mogul can rest easy knowing this is nothing more than a hoax. The photos making rounds are NOT new photos of Simon. And, there aren’t any credible sources reporting he has passed away.

Why Is He Such A Frequent Target?
Now, Simon Cowell has been killed by a death hoax at least twice this year. So, many of his fans are wondering why he is such a frequent target. Turns out, the answer is relatively simple. He is such a frequent target because he is an easy target. A death hoax is more believable when it includes concerning photos of the celebrity.

Simon Cowell has been in several e-bike accidents that resulted in being hospitalized. So, there are some pretty banged-up photos of Simon floating around the Internet that anyone can access. These concerning photos attached to a tagline claiming Simon has passed away just make the story more believable.
Unfortunately, this is also why singing sensation Celine Dion was an easy target for a recent death hoax. It is well-known that she is currently struggling with her health. So, it is easier for individuals on the Internet to buy into a hoax that she may have passed away.
