I thought you said CELEBRITY deaths.

Fred Travalena? no shit.....FWIW we still have today to add to the list....

it is very bad news... but fromother side it is life and all will die...

To be honest i'm more concerned about my own family than celebs...

Same. Everyone seems to be a celebrity death kick right now so I thought I'd post a list.

people die every day without being loved or praised or remembered

What concerns me is all the celebutards that are still left alive.

Boy the op defines the word "celebrity" loosely. half the list no one has ever heard of? Fred Travalena, seriously? He hasn't been remotely relevent in at least 20-25 years.

damn that is crazy

RIP for all.It's really a sad list.

107 people die per MINUTE in america alone.
Thats over 6 thousand that die per hour

Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
