No, Matt Damon is Not Dead

If you look at the Google Trends result for the Matt Damon dead query, Bollywood91 pops up under blog results. Their blurb says "Matt Damon, an American actor and philanthropist, was found dead in California's Palo Verde mountain area on Wednesday. He was 38. According to TMZ's web site,"

That's probably what is attracting people to their site, the reference to TMZ. However, if you go to TMZ you don't see a reference to Matt Damon being dead. Seems like they're just out to hook people. With a reference to TMZ, people might think the story is legit.

What could be the reason to post a Matt Damon dead fake story? Well, there could be a nasty virus or trojan at the other end of that link. Fortunately, as I said, it appears the link is broken.

So, while some may be worried, don't be. There's little if any chance that Matt Damon is dead. What he is, however, is a 38-year-old Academy Award winning actor whose next film is The Informant.
