In July 2018, pop singer Demi Lovato made headlines when she was hospitalized after an overdose. Although she was reportedly recovering well afterwards, one website soon rehashed the news coverage of her overdose and prefaced their write-up with a couple of paragraphs claiming Lovato had passed away: The report of Lovato's death was false and originated solely with a website called New York Timely Reports (whose domain name, nytiwes.com imitates that of the legitimate New York Times). New York Timely Reports is a junk news site which has published other celebrity death hoaxes, such as falsely reporting that former president George H.W. Bush had passed away. As of this writing, Lovato remains (alive) at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and is expected to leave that facility within a week.
