Guess Who Died? (The Dead Celebrities Thread)

[just owls]

I can't believe it's taken so long to make this public, but Dolores O'Riordan's cause of death was drowning in her bathtub (due to intoxication).

[Steve SFM]

Jesus. That sucks.

I am an Old and do not know who this is, but Mac Miller has died of a drugoverdose at 26.

All I know about him is that he used to date Ariana Grande. She’s now had to disable all her Instagram comments because people are blaming her for his overdose. Of course they are, because everyone is fucking vile nowadays.

In addition to people being fucking flaming piles of trash, where is the cotdamn logic? Woman leaves drug user; drug user continues to use drugs and dies; woman to blame for drug overdose.

I hate most people so much and am ready for an asteroid to do us all in already and things like this surely don't move the needle in the other direction for me.

ETA: reading replies on Twitter has become worse than the YouTube comments section. Fuck people so much.

Oh, great. Another instance of people not knowing a fucking thing about addiction and YAPPING ABOUT IT ANYWAY. Addicts use. That’s what they do. They use before they break up and after they break up. And if they don’t get clean, they eventually die. Sometimes, “eventually” doesn’t take very long. Poor kid.

And, of course, there’s only one word for blaming the ex-girlfriend. MISOGYNY.

^ Absolutely heartbreaking. Marin was one of my all time favorite's. A lovely woman, and I adored how her and her husband loved to perform together.

Aw man I missed this. The great Oscar nominated actress Barbara Harris died last month. Loved her in Nashville and Freaky Friday.

Scott Wilson. Most recently known as Herschel on the Walking Dead.

[plastic•husband]

Aww He was a great character actor. Especially in In Cold Blood, I'll never forget his scene in Monster.

[Steve SFM]

Yep. Old-school, top-quality character actor. And I read in Variety that he was also very active in the Screen Actors Guild.

Interesting life, well lived. Rest well, sir.
