THIS IS NOT TRUE (THIS IS A RUMOR SPREADING AROUND THE NET)
Napoleon Dynamite (John Heder) died in a car wreck.
John Heder, lead role in Napoleon Dynamite, died of head injuries after undergoing a highway car accident two days ago. He was riding in the passenger seat on his way to Salem, Oregon with his friend Mike McHill when the driver supposedly saw a deer run in front of the car. Mike overcorrected and drove off a steep ten foot embankment after rolling three or four times. John was leaving from the wrap party for the film Moving McAllister, a comedy starring Mila Kunis. Heder was said to have been heading to his home town to take a break after the movie was filmed. Sadly, for this Mormon, his plans were cut short when Bambi streaked in front of their car. The '01 Pontiac Sunfire was laying upside down in a ditch when the EMTs arrived on the scene. There were open alcoholic beverages found in the back seat but nobody knows which of the two boys were intoxicated. Mike, the driver, was life-flighted to Boise Hospital for treatment of multiple fractures and possible brain injury. There are possible legal allegations being to be put on McHill, especially if he is found to have alcohol in his blood. Not only is he in a lot of trouble when he comes out, but everyone hates him for being responsible for killing Napoleon Dynamite, the world's newest hero. The tragedy hasn't hit the media yet because Heder's parents wish to keep it undisclosed for as long as possible. Margret, his mother, states, "...at least until after the funeral because we don't want a thousand strange Dynamite-crazed fans crying over our shoulders." It really is a shame how Jon Heder finally hits the American dream and strikes it rich, only to die of a stupid death a few months later. Maybe Napoleon should have stuck to a Sledgehammer bicycle. Oh well.

Napoleon Dynamite is so popular that it has acquired cult status!
Napoleon Dynamite
Who would have thought a no-cussing, no-kissing Mormon teen comedy would become so popular? A love-it-or-hate-it movie, "Napoleon Dynamite"'s greatest strength is its seemingly limitless bank of quotable quotes, truly perfect for almost any situation. Even if you haven't seen this film yet, you've probably heard such memorable exchanges as Napoleon's response to "How was school?": "Worst day of my life, what do you think?" Pedro's election platform: "Vote for me and all of your wildest dreams will come true." And, perhaps the greatest pickup line of all time: "I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."

My son and I were waiting in line at Disneyland's "Tower of Terror", and he was talking like Napolean(he has him down to a tee), and two girls told us that Jon Heder had been killed in a car accident the night before. This was in February! We just about died because we love Napolean and Jon! I called my daughter at home and asked her to search the internet to find out if it was true. We were so relieved when she called us back to tell us it was just another rumor.

Napoleon Dynamite is NOT Dead

Before the rumor quickly spreads throughout the Internet and entertainment circuit let me immediately extinguish it. Jon Heder, the actor who played the infamous Napoleon Dynamite has not died.
Rumors swirled around the actor’s death back in January but were never made as public as over the past few days that he was involved in a tragic auto accident or drug overdose. Nothing could be further from the truth; in fact he has recently wrapped several films and was on the Tonight Show last month. Heder was even interviewed and when asked about his own demise he replied, “Yeah, and apparently it’s not true."
So for everyone that might be upset over this falsehood hopefully I have offered some immediate comfort and closure to this idiotic and disturbing rumor.
