Celebrity R.I.P.s

[Tamstrong]

This thread is tricky for me. I wish people's love ones would explain exactly why their loved ones passed away. For instance, I would advise anyone who has an incontinent loved one at home hooked up to a Foley(sp) catheter, instead use paper underpads. Catheters increase the risk for urinary tract infections, which can lead to fatal sepsis.

I know most of these people are celebs and have drug and alcohol issues and their families don't want that out in the public, but otherwise I'd like to know.
Rock funk legend Prince died from a fentanyl and vicodin OD, but at the same time I bet his death saved thousands of lives too.

Even in the 21st century, death can still be a mystery. A little light helps.

Their desire and need for privacy is completely understandable for various reasons, but I do agree that sharing the cause of a celebrity's death can be an effective way to spread awareness and potentially save lives.

RIP

I didn't know much about him before tbh because i'm not very much into fashion industry but seems like he was a big deal.
Some pictures with Virgil and others celebs
I think Timothee Chalamet worked with him and did some post on his social media about him.
Seems like he had a friendship with Kanye

He also had a family, wife and kids. Really sad

I had a weird feeling that I hoped was wrong that she wouldn't make it to her 100th birthday. Too many media outlets over the last few weeks were putting the spotlight on the fact that she would soon be 100. They should have waited until after she actually reached that landmark to spotlight her. RIP.

I sincerely agree! I just wished the media would cool it down and did it on say the 15th of January.
