Famous people that died too soon

[thaibeachlovers]

I was listening to Karen Carpenter yesterday and thought how tragic it was that we lost such a talent so young.

Other person that springs to mind was Roy Orbison. He had a tragic life, poor man.

 

What are your suggestions? Only those that died too soon, please, and were a loss to all of us.

Fair point. Young in this context would be better as you say- too soon. I have changed the OP to say that.

Bit of depressing subject there's loads of singers who have died and how they say they died,  I guess to be kind,  "An accidental overdose of a nacocotic substance." ????

Perhaps we can also start a thread about famous (or not-so famous) people that you think couldn't die soon enough?

 

I'd name a few, but probably get banned... ????
