Ledger died in 2008. January I believe. Murphy died nearly 2 years later at the end of 2009.
Her death was all over the news, on TMZ, was posted about on GFY, several threads in fact. But it wasn't as big a deal as Ledger's death because she simply wasn't as big a star as he was, so it's quite likely a lot of people did not hear about her untimely demise.
Without looking at the list two guys I would have liked to have seen more from were:
Sam Kinison
John Candy
I don't know if either died "too young" but they certainly went before their time. I'd also have loved to have seen what other music John Lennon would have come up with through the 80's and 90's had he lived.
