#10 and #8 sound like the worst! I even got goose bumps reading those stories…
hi, why didint you put aaliyah dana haughton up for 10 shocking death, that shocked the whole world mate, so if you can please show sympathy please and put her picture up here.
RIP BABYGAL
Heath Ledger? Tupac Shakur? You telling me these didn’t shock you? By the way Aaliyah did not die in a helicopter crash, she died in a plane crash. Reading this list is heartbreaking. It just brought it all back, the emotions of sadness and futilty of life lost. Hearing about Princess Di dying, at first I didn’t believe it, and thought it was a cruel joke (I thought the same thing about Tupac & almost started a fight because of it). I remember watching the funeral on TV and feeling for her sons having to deal with the publicity of her death and the ghastly mystery surrounding it. Marilyn still has that glamourous air of old hollywood around her. No one said it was easy but life goes on…
what about Princess Grace?
lol the grim reaper :)
Grace Kelly and Veronica Lake.
pepper is gettin 2 deep there get a life before yours ends 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why is aaliyah not on that list?
what about Kurt Cobain?
Oh, yes… it’s a terrible loss…
Wow I didnt know the little girl Heather O’Rourke died at 12 yrs old. And I still remember when I heard about Princess Diana…it was too sad to listen to…same with Aaliyah and Lisa Lopes from TLC. And I know he isnt a celebrity but he is a celebrity’s son…Jett Travolta…still cant believe it.
Wow, you’re going to tell me Aliayah, whoever she is, is more shocking than Lennon and Presley? What about Buddy Holly?
there are so many other shocking deaths!
