These celebs are dropping off like flies. The old saying is "it happens in threes" but it's more like "eights" or "nines" this time.

That sucks, one of the better actors out there. Hans was one of the best villain roles/performances I've ever seen.

I was just throwing out figures. It may be more than 8 or 9.

We've had...

Musicians: Bowie, Natalie Cole, Lemmy & Scott Weiland. Not famous for her music but Wayne Static's (Static X-he died in 2014) wife, Tera Wray (former pornstar) died yesterday or this morning. She's not exactly a household name.

Military: Norman Schwarzkopf

Celebs: Rickman, Pat Harrington (played Schneider on One Day at a Time)

Athletes: Meadowlark Lemon

A lot of these are probably before your time but pretty sure these all happened since Christmas or just before. There are more but they are a bit more obscure.

Derp...reading is fundamental. Got to read the shit that pops up on my Facebook wall a little closer. Had no idea he even died and the thing that popped up right after Christmas said he died. Thought it was recent. LOL

Actually, she was 12 and he was 38 when they met. It's rumored they were banging when she was 13.

Her brother just died too, 2 days after her husband.

Sad about the brother....crazy but believable about the other. The young prodigy and the creepy older guy she was around all the time. Damn that's awful.
