QUESTIONABLE CELEBRITIES DEATHS.
Written by Ann Munyasya on August 4, 2021
Do you just listen to a song or watch a movie and wonder where this person disappeared to? Growing up I loved watching Batman so much that I would follow every new episode. To my surprise I recently learned that the main actor of ‘The dark knight’ died. Sad, right?
I decided to Google how many celebrities I loved growing up and find out if and how they may have passed on.
Amy Winehouse.
British songstress Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home in July 2011. The soulful singer, who openly struggled with drug and alcohol abuse during her career, died of accidental alcohol poisoning.
Aaliyah.
Who doesn’t know Aaliyah, the girl with the cutest eyes and a sweet voice? My favorite track by her is, ‘More than a woman’. Her life ended in an August 2001 plane crash in the Bahamas. The investigators said the plane was overloaded with luggage at the time of the crash which killed all nine people on board.
Michael Jackson.
Do we talk about how Michael Jackson was one of the most loved people all over the world? I remember my classmate back in 2009 crying, because she was mourning MJ. His death was caused by an overdose of propofol. Recently I watched a documentary about his life here on earth on Netflix, I couldn’t help but cry.
Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee, a master of martial arts who died at the age of 32 in July 1973. His death was caused by an edema caused by an allergic reaction to painkillers. Some of our childhood memories are filled with Bruce Lee’s movies like my favorite; ‘Enter the dragon.’
Tupac Shakur.
In 1996, Tupac Shakur was leaving a boxing event in Las Vegas when he was shot multiple times. Six days later, he was dead at the age of 25. His death was allegedly caused by the Volatile East Coast/West Coast rap war of the era. Although nearly every fan has their own theory as to how he died, his death still remains unsolved.
Heath Ledger.
If you are a fan of Batman then you have probably watched ‘The dark knight’. The actor had been nominated for an Oscar for 2005’s “Brokeback Mountain” and for another nod for “The dark knight” when he was found dead in his apartment in New York. The police report said he died from an accidental overdose of prescribed medications.
We live in a world where strange things happen and being a celebrity doesn’t come easy. When your favorite celebrity passes away it really does hit home, mainly because they become a big part of your life with their talents.
Do you know of any celebrity who passed away mysteriously or one who’s death could have passed us by?
Be silly. Have fun. Love the people who treat you right, forget the ones who don’t. Regret nothing. Believe everything happens for a purpose and seek that purpose! – Karen Salmansohn
