dead celebrities
 

this topic is about celebrities that die and related tragedies, feel free to go off any any tangents also as long as they stem from the conversation.

for instance i just learned today that mike tysons (the documentary "tyson" was awsome) 4 year old daughter was found dead, by his 7 year old son. she was apparently hanging by the power cord to one of his excercise machines.

Re: dead celebrities
 

david carridine, apparently he hung himself

Re: dead celebrities
 

Hmmm who else has hung them selfs?

ODB died in the studio - it was his heart.

(That was the first dead celeb that came into my head.)

Re: dead celebrities
 

David Strickland, 29, died March 22, 1999, after hanging himself in a hotel room in Las Vegas.

Jonathan Brandis, 27, died Nov. 12, 2003, from injuries he suffered after hanging himself in Los Angeles.

I don't know much about these guys but seen this in an article about Heath Ledger, and others who dies young.

Re: dead celebrities
 

well this forum is for news on who died, not for posting random people who died a long time ago

update on carridine: apparently it was not a suicide, but a sexual act gone wrong, bondage i guess

Re: dead celebrities
 

Ahh I just posted them because sez asked who else has hung themselves.

Re: dead celebrities
 

oh, i guess i kinda misunderstood, i thought poeple got the wrong idea of the thread

Re: dead celebrities
 

Erotic asphyxiation to be exact. It's not confirmed but that's probably from the attempt to shield the family and his reputation. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this kind of thing but most people think it's odd.

I can't believe I didn't hear about this btw. I really liked David Carradine.:(

Re: dead celebrities
 

Cobain...he will be missed.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Ohhh so bill wa kinky then.
It does sound like they are protecting the rep of the family

@Steven
ooooohhh sorry queen :)
I thought It was about dead celebritys!

Re: dead celebrities
 

carridine update: so now im hearing reports that the way he was bound, that there had to be someone else involved, and fungusman hag dug up some reports that apparently, he was "investigating secret societies."

Re: dead celebrities
 

I feel bad for the guy. If he was into kinky sex and it killed him then let it be. No one deserves to have thier personal life dragged through the media.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Poor git,
I bet he didnt think he would go out like that.

In other news, Uma Thurman has gone on the run...

Re: dead celebrities
 

Well duh no one thinks they're gonna die when they do these kinds of things, that's the point. They want the rush not the dieing.

Re: dead celebrities
 

I like Carradine too. He was a class act and I will truly miss seeing his performances. He was great in Kung Fu and Kill Bill, but also in the 100+ other projects he was in.

@ Dojah, Jonathon Brandis was a kid who was in Seaquest and a bunch of T.V. movies. I remember his death almost destroyed my GF (ex-GF now) as she had a huge crush on him.

and farrah fawcett, dead at 62, lost battle with cancer

Re: dead celebrities
 

Associate Press is reporting that Farrah Fawcett has died today as well, at age 62 from colon cancer. 'Charlie's Angel' Farrah Fawcett dies at 62 - Yahoo! News

Also, Ed McMahan died two days ago.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Yeah I didn't post about Farrah because it wasn't a surprise to people who've heard about how bad she was doing. Cancer is a horrible thing.

I made a topic for MJ because this was a shock. It was obvious that was unhealthy(just look at a recent photo). I'm interested to see what kind of info we hear about MJ now that he's gone.

Re: dead celebrities
 

i feel kinda bad for mj, this world chewed him up and spit him out. i kinda compare him to van gogh in a way.

Re: dead celebrities
 

I agree. I think he was like a big child that just didn't know how to deal with the real world. :(

Re: dead celebrities
 

Do you know what MJ did in his later years!? :o

Re: dead celebrities
 

Don't believe everything you hear. I'm not saying he didn't, but I was never convinced he did.

He was a very different individual for sure, but sometimes people like that are a very easy target for the tabloid media that has taken over our continent.

Re: dead celebrities
 

i believe bits and pieces but i highly doubt its 100% true

Re: dead celebrities
 

walter cronkite dead at 92

Re: dead celebrities
 

Tupac and Biggie Smalls, the East coast West Coast battle around them pit them against each other and killed them both.

Eazy-E, AIDS is a horrible way to die. Rest In peace to one of the greatest rappers of all time.

Re: dead celebrities
 

les lye died tuesday at the age of 84, im not sure how much acclaim the show "you cant do that on television" had in the us, but he had several roles on that show including his most famous "barth"

Re: dead celebrities
 

I remember that character from the show. He was pretty funny on there.

Re: dead celebrities
 

man i just watched some youtube clips and i was rollin, i forgot how funny that show was

Re: dead celebrities
 

I have always said that the show was one of the great ones on T.V. I waited along time to see if they would ever bring it back on but no they never did.

There was definitely a great show there that was cut long before it should have.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Just to clarify the show was Canadian. Although it did have some success in the US.
You Can't Do That on Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"There was definitely a great show there that was cut long before it should have."

It's first season was in 1979. and last official show was in 1990. 11 years is a great run for any show.

Barth : "Duh, I heard that."
Always cracked me up.

Sorry to hear that Les Lye passed on.

Re: dead celebrities
 

ted kennedy dies from brain cancer, he was 77

Re: dead celebrities

Re: dead celebrities
 

That's true of the brothers in the family for sure. Both John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy were assassinated when they were in office.

Re: dead celebrities
 

I just checked this thread and I'm appalled no one said anything about Les Paul's death!

Re: dead celebrities
 

DJ Am...He was one of the people that was in the plane with Travis Barker of Blink 182..I think he was there DJ as well. I heard he had an overdose and he just passed early today or yesterday. RIP

Re: dead celebrities
 

Thanks for mentioning that Timber. I was going to mention something about him myself, but I forgot to. He was amazing! What a genius pioneer. He will be missed for sure.

Re: dead celebrities
 

I didn't like Travis Barker or Blink 182 but it's always sad when a young person dies for such a stupid reason.

Re: dead celebrities
 

DJ Am got a second chance on life after the crash and he pissed it away on drugs. I feel nothing for him.

John Hughes (writer/director) -- Dead.

Heart Attack. Died August 6, 2009. Born February 18, 1950. He directed and/or wrote such '80s hit films as The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Home Alone and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Re: dead celebrities
 

I agree..and John Hughes was the 80's. Everything he touched turned to gold and is a staple of the time. I was sad to hear he died

Re: dead celebrities
 

My bad I read this wrong, I thought Travis Barker died. Either way, oh well life moves on.

Re: dead celebrities
 

That it does

Re: dead celebrities
 

Wow this was an intresting video.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Its one of my favorite songs. I like the theme. Its a dark song but it also brings in a little hope mixed in it. Plus like the song says I hope I go "naturally"

Oh and Micheal Jacksons funeral is today @ Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cali. Im glad there finally going to lay him to rest after a month.

Re: dead celebrities
 

70 days actually

Re: dead celebrities
 

Thats a great place for MJ... He now gets to reside in the final resting place where Walt Disney and Larry Fine are buried.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Wow I didnt realise it was that long ago. I think some of the reason they waited so long because his birthday was yesterday. Either way Im glad hes laid to rest
Very cool EXPENSIVE company lol. Forest Lawn is the only cemetery I know of that has 24 hour security that isnt a federal cemetery, I KNOW it costs a pretty penny to get baried there. I like the location because its very private. Hopefully this will keep fools from trying to grave rob or disturb his resting place.

Re: dead celebrities
 

What did they do with him for 70 days.

Having to hire security guards after you are dead is a bit silly.

Re: dead celebrities
 

Aww poor Jacko.
Im just glad I didnt buy tickets!

Re: dead celebrities
 

Im pretty sure they just had him in a morgue @ the cemetery. And the guards are for the cemetery as a whole. There are a lot of famous people baried there and the families will pay for the extra security and privacy Forest Lawn provides. They know theres crazies out there that would disturb the grave or steal the headstones if they got the chance.

I dont think they had tickets to this event. It was for family and close friends only.
The only event that had tickets was the public memorial and they gave those away
