NEW YORK, NY – Canadian pop-star and school kid Justin Bieber was tragically killed today when a truck driver accidentally ran over the star in downtown New York, reports bored Twitter user @JoshuaDJ22.

In a 120-character post, @JoshuaDJ22 announced that Bieber – singer of hits One Time, One Less Lonely Girl and Baby – was killed shortly after leaving the Island Records office complex this afternoon.

“Awful news. Just heard that Justin Bieber is dead. Got run over by a truck just after recording a new single. Sad times.”, said the post.

Thousands of Bieber’s followers have expressed their deep disbelief at the revelation, with Juicy_Lucy48 insisting that “this is all a bunch of bs. justins not dead,,, I know he aint. his twitter profile was updated 10 mins ago”, while a concerned MeganZZZ responded with: “holy crap! Is Justin Bieber really dead?”.

The tragic announcement comes just days after fellow bored Tweeter MazziBanter4 revealed that the 16-year-old Bieber had previously contracted AIDS from his mother and routinely “took it up the ass from (R&B singer) Usher”.
