Claim: No, Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Has Not Died While Performing A Stunt (Tommy Welsh, 2020-06-01)
Evidence (2024-04-15): Harry O'Connor, who served as a stunt double for Vin Diesel in "xXx," died on the Prague set of the film while performing a paragliding stunt in his place. An experienced skydiver and stunt performer who'd joined the industry after retiring as a Navy SEAL, O'Connor reportedly collided with a pillar of the Palacky Bridge while paragliding and broke his neck in the process before passing away. It was his second effort to complete the stunt, the first of which was successful and used in the movie. [...] Hollywood isn't the only moviemaking industry where stunt actors have lost their lives. Around the world in India, where the Indian film industry is booming, stunts have sometimes left death in their wake as well. One recent catastrophe happened on the set of the 2023 film "Viduthalai: Part 1," co-written and directed by Vetrimaaran. "Viduthalai: Part 1" features a police constable (Soori) on the hunt for Vaathiyar Perumal (Vijay Sethupathi), the leader of an extremist dissident group called Makkal Padai. It's a tense crime thriller full of exciting action scenes, but one of them left stuntman Suresh dead.

Evidence (2023-12-22): In January 2014, Facebook users began seeing viral posts teasing the story that actor Vin Diesel had died and offering links to a video report on the subject: [...] Vin Diesel himself remains alive and well, just having shared a photograph with his one-year-old daughter Pauline (who was named for Diesel's late friend and co-star Paul Walker) on Facebook: In May 2020, a new version of the Vin Diesel death hoax circulated on Facebook. This time, a link lured users to a website that featured a false video report about the actor's death alongside pornographic material.

Evidence (2019-07-24): Vin Diesel was left "choking back tears" after witnessing his stunt double tragically fall on the set of Fast And Furious 9 on Monday. [...] "The stuntman fell at least 30ft — maybe a bit more," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "Vin Diesel was seen on set seconds after. He looked ashen, totally in shock and blinking back tears. He saw what happened." [...] Diesel has had several brushes with tragedy in the past. His stunt double Harry O’Connor was killed filming a para-sailing scene for 2002 action flick xXx in Prague while performing a paragliding stunt in the actor’s place. And his Fast and Furious co-star Paul Walker died aged 40 in a car crash off-set during filming of the franchise’s seventh film in 2013.
Claim: No, Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Has Not Died While Performing A Stunt (Tommy Welsh, 2020-06-01)
Evidence (2024-01-03): Contrary to the swirling rumors, Vin Diesel is very much alive and kicking. This recent hoax, much like Diesel’s on-screen antics, is nothing but smoke and mirrors. On the contrary, reports of Vin Diesel being accused of sexual battery by a former assistant surfaced on December 22, 2023. [...] The rumor mill went into overdrive with claims that Vin Diesel had died in a car crash – a narrative eerily reminiscent of his on-screen persona. But here’s the twist: the source of these rumors wasn’t a reputable news outlet but a Facebook post designed to deceive. [...] Vin Diesel’s rumored demise is yet another pit stop in the never-ending race of online rumors. It’s a reminder to pause and ponder before we hit the gas on the share button. After all, in the fast lane of information, it’s always better to steer with caution.
Claim: No, Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Has Not Died While Performing A Stunt (Tommy Welsh, 2020-06-01)
Evidence (2019-07-22): We hired a great stunt man to be dragged, a guy named Spiro Razatos, who went on to make a fortune as a really good stunt director. He did the Fast and Furious films with Vin Diesel. And it worked! We won out over a bunch of big pictures. We won Best Special Stunt which is the one all the stunt guys want to win because it's not only a stunt, it's a special stunt. Thanks for asking about that.

Evidence (2011-05-05): In fact, it was so stupid that my brain sort of shut off while I was watching and I’m having serious trouble coming up with anything useful to say. Did I already mention that Vin Diesel fights The Rock? Basically, if that sounds good to you, you’re gonna love this movie. Otherwise, steer clear. But if you feel like reading on, be warned that my mind is not firing on all six cylinders. Five Fast Five Furious picks up where the last one left off (as if anyone’s keeping track), with Dom (Vin Diesel) in jail. It takes all of 30 seconds for some stunt driving to flip the prison transport bus he’s on, sending Dom twirling towards freedom–and man does it flip, over and over and over and over, until it comes to its final resting place. Boom: title screen. What an opening. Though there were only 6 people in the theater, it immediately filled with cheers. The movie must have anticipated my fear for all those poor prisoners’ lives, for shortly after the title, we get a news report assuring us that no one was harmed. Dom and co. would never hurt an innocent prisoner.

He is also a UNICEF Ambassador and a renowned philanthropist, setting up the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation in 1988 for youth scholarships and disaster aid. He has pledged to donate half his estate to charity upon his death.
Claim: No, Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Has Not Died While Performing A Stunt (Tommy Welsh, 2020-06-01)
Evidence (2021-07-24): While stunt actors are highly skilled and trained to avoid injury, tragic accidents have occurred in which performers have died in the line of work. [...] Harry O'Connor was a Navy SEAL before he got into the stunt industry as a performer and skydiver, and was hired as Vin Diesel's stunt double on the set of xXx. [...] Stunt performer Sonja Davis was fatally injured on the set of the Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett comedy horror Vampire In Brooklyn when performing a 42 foot backward fall.
Claim: No, Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Has Not Died While Performing A Stunt (Tommy Welsh, 2020-06-01)
Evidence (2023-06-06): What did I learn from these big shiny stuntmen with wheels? That Vin Diesel has the voice of God, luxury car brands will willingly destroy a shocking number of vehicles in exchange for product placement, and family — especially family that can drive — is forever. Below, my painstaking efforts to understand ten movies about hot people doing crazy shit in cars. I’ve rated them on a scale of 1 to 1,000 mph to accurately reflect the speeds I believe they’re driving in these films. Major spoilers ahead, obviously. [...] Vin Diesel is back, baby, and for some reason he kicked those thes out of the title! Who needs definite articles when you have family? Dom and Mia still hate Brian for pretending to be their friends while actually spying for the police, but they all reluctantly team up in the Dominican Republic to avenge Letty, who was killed by a drug lord she was informing on for the FBI. This is all supposed to take place before Tokyo Drift, because Han died at the end of that movie, and yet here he is, stealing an entire truck of oil on the highway with Dom. An average Tuesday for this crew, surely.
Claim: No, Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Has Not Died While Performing A Stunt (Tommy Welsh, 2020-06-01)
Evidence (2017-04-20): This is good news because the film’s star, Vin Diesel, isn’t exactly Sir Lawrence Olivier. Nor is co-star Paul Walker, who, it is hard not to point out, died not long ago in a car that was being driven dangerously fast in what has to be one of the worst inadvertent movie tie-ins ever. While Walker’s death isn’t amusing, if you’re looking for a definition of ‘ironic,’ we’re here to help.

Evidence (2015-09-01): GC: Yes, you do have – stunt coordinators’ children usually are raised in the stunt world, and since they were three would jump on trampolines and fly on wires with their dad, so yeah. I know one of them, his name is Bob Brown, is a famous stunt coordinator, and I did a movie with him called Babylon: AD, with Vin Diesel, and his son was one of the stunt people. He was with us, falling off a submarine into frozen water and ice. And there are great, talented kids. They’re living in the stunt world, so they’re in the best place to become the best.
