The 8th Annual Celebrity Death Thread 2023

[Vermilion]

Is the cause of death 'bloody great big Bengal tiger'?

They took out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son was a different story altogether.

It’s been a long time since I watched 24 so had to google her character to remember who she was only to find some grisly pictures at the top of the image search gallery of her character’s face wrapped in plastic while apparently being buried alive after being shot. That’s a bit unfortunate, I guess the people who knew her probably don’t need to Google her to remind them who she was or what she looked like so probably won’t be upset by the images.

[Memento Mori]

She was the Borg Queen in Star Trek Picard last year and recurred on Bosch.

[Choclet-Milk]

Ah that's a shame. I didn't think I knew her, but it turns out she was Tess in TLOU.

[Rapidly-Greying]

What a shame,such a versatile actress and so pretty with those freckles. She plays a scary serial killer on The Rookie too. Im surprised she never got a role to play in TLOU TV show(perhaps she was too ill to accept a role).

Rest in peace you lovely person.

[Herdanos]

Tom Verlaine has died.

Real shame this.

If you've never heard it, take ten minutes and put this on.



RIP

Posting it twice is a bit of an XS.

Posting it twice is a bit of an XS.

No idea what you're talking about.

Turns out that Paco was batshit mental:

...he was also known for his provocative outbursts. At various stages he claimed to have had multiple lives, to have been some 78,000 years old, to have seen God and been visited by aliens.

And in 1999, he courted controversy after predicting in his book - Fire From Heaven - that Paris would be destroyed later that year when the Russian space station Mir crashed down to Earth. He said that he had foreseen the disaster from his reading of the 16th-Century French astrologer Nostradamus.

Sounds like stuff my sister would say.
