Jimmy Sullivan (AKA The Rev) from the band Avenged Sevenfold died yesterday aged 28. Natural causes apparently! :?

 

[Rush]

Any points for Akmal Shaikh, the executed suspected drugs smuggler? His death is almost getting as much publicity here as Michael Jackson's.

^^ I don't get how 28 can be natural causes..

^Young people die unexpectedly all the time. You just never hear of it unless they're famous, making it seem like a really rare occurance.

Zelda Rubinstein, the tiny woman who played the psychic character from the Poltergeist movies has just been taken off life support.

Just because this could be the last entry for the year I'll break my self-imposed rule of waiting 48 hours in order to let other people post.
In a year that claimed so many notables perhaps it is fitting to end it like this as Dr. Death died today.
Steve Williams, who wrestled professionally as 'Dr. Death', died at the age of 49 after a long bout with throat cancer.
