Did Ben Savage Die in a Car Accident?

Someone on myspace started the rumor that Ben Savage was killed in a fatal accident, so is this true?

from the Myspace site:

RIP COREY MATTHEWS

Saturday, September 16th Ben Savage passed away at Memorial Hospital in Canton, Ohio at 10:47 pm. Savage was in a fatal accident sending him into a coma which he did not awake.

Ben best known as Corey Matthews from the comedy sit com Boy Meets World was intoxicated during the accident which ultimately prevented his recovery. Rest In Peace Ben Savage, “Corey Matthews” You will be greatly missed.

Ben Savage

September 13th, 1980 – September 16th 2006

Noooo it’s not true. He did not die in a drunk driving accident. It is just another internet spread celebrity death hoax, this one spread primarily via the MySpace social networking site. Ben’s manager has assured the media that Ben Savage is alive and well.

Supposedly, Ben, who is also the younger sibling of “Wonder Years” lead Fred Savage, was driving when he crashed his car, went into a coma, and passed away. In reality, the actor is alive and well and possibly nursing bitter feelings toward his older bro, who always scores a mention in Ben’s write-ups, and was never rumored to have prematurely kicked the bucket.

oh and btw, we’re not related!

    I heard that myspace rumor about Ben Savage alledgedly dying in Canton, Ohio and I felt horrible not only because I’m a fan but also because Canton is only about 45 minutes from my home. But I can happily report that the rumor is completely false! That’s what I believe and it would be quite easy for me to take my mothers medical ids and drive to that memorial hospital in canton and find out in the hospitals achieves if the rumor is true, but I’m not going to waste my time because I know if that happened we would have seen it somewhere on “E” or “CNN”. Look at all the coverage “Anna Nicole Smith” is getting for goodness sakes.

    I love Boy meets World!! I was so crushed wen i heard about it. I thought he was really gone! Half of my life was devoted to watching him on TV and it will be a very sad day wen he actually leaves this earth. For all u ppl who did not like him and have the nerve to say it on the internet, he probably wud not have liked you either!
    GO BEN SAVAGE!!! LONG LIVE BEN SAVAGE!!

    Benny savagy looked like…pretty young in 1993 when boy meets world aired. Suched as the rumor aired about bs’s(ben savage’s) death, I, wait…. Omg.sorry. Anyway like i was saying when i heard about it the rumor said he was born late in the year, 1980. but when starred in bmw(boy meets world), he looked about only 7 years old when he was actually 13!. He’s cute now. type in ben savage on a yahoo homepage, and go under wikipedia, his picture makes him looke cute, from march 2007 american express wallpaper in the background. he is wearing a suit. I am totally not joking! but i actually found out his cell number on bensavage.com. his number is (631)-889-2017.. wait… don’t CALL HIM! i am his coucin’s friend. i am telling the truth

  51. Anet 11 July 2007 at 10:08 pm Permalink

    Thank God I got scared for a minute! I love Ben Savage I wish I could see him on TV more often!

    did ben savage really die??????????? if he did i will be soooooooo saddddddddd! i want to know if the romer is ture dor not??????????

  53. BlakeyJ 23 July 2007 at 2:02 am Permalink

    Ben Savage did NOT die. His manager confirmed the fact that he is alive and healthy. Peace :) .

  54. Jordyn 27 July 2007 at 10:44 pm Permalink

    kay umm… i have mixed feelings about this…

    there are many eulogy’s about him, and they also include a day and time.
    but also, i have to wonder why this hasnt reached the media yet. if a famous actor like him died, im sure the publicity would be all over. but they do include very detailed things about his death so whos to say its a rumor. i say if he is alive then he should send out a statement so fans like me or you can know for sure if hes actually gone, instead of sitting around while the world is sad that “cory matthews” is dead.

    • NJ Co 31 March 2011 at 11:25 pm Permalink

      Well, it said he died in 2006. He was in an episode of Chuck that was aired and produced in 2008, so for a dead guy he looked pretty well

  55. meigan 30 July 2007 at 1:19 am Permalink

    I am still skeptic about ben savage.I think hes cute and all but my bff told me he was not alive.Hopfully shes mistaken.If its not true to the butt who wrote it:I hope you PERISH!!!!!!!!!!!!

  56. Alexis 30 July 2007 at 6:22 pm Permalink

    I am so glad he didn’t die but i heard Jaleel White the guy who plays Steve Urkel died

  57. Carol Smith 8 August 2007 at 1:15 am Permalink

    You guys are very naive if you believe that Ben did not die just because it is published on a website of a guy with the same last name. He did in fact die and it was in the newspapers last year when it happened. Don’t you kids read the paper? It has all been verified.

    RIP to Ben, he was a good actor and will be missed.

  58. rebecca medina 12 August 2007 at 10:52 pm Permalink

    i really need to know the truth. is ben savage really dead.i hope to god its not true because i think he is a very good actor and a very handsome man.if its true rest in peace.and my prayers go out to the family.

  59. Miranda 15 August 2007 at 7:23 pm Permalink

    No, he isn’t dead. I saw a video where some kids were with ben savage at this party and he was really roudy.

    she and ben are great friends and still keep in touch often. so i would know…
    plus, he starred on one episode of phil of the future, which aired in 2007. therefore, he is ALIVE AND WELL :]

    i hope we can end this now..
