never heard of any of the people in this thread so far. although, i don't follow sports at all so that might be a contributing factor.

Hah, I never knew his name...but recognized the face instantly. He always reminded me of Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine.

Famous people die all the time. It's just that when an internationally well known star dies everyone starts paying attention to other celebrity (even lesser known celebrity) deaths.

Some real fvckin' geniuses in this thread already. It's like someone dies, and the real IQ shows up.

*sigh* "famous" people die all the time. When 2 or 3 REALLY famous people die in a row people start to look for a pattern, and us humans are really good at finding "paterns" whether they exist or not. We fail at logical thinking, see religion.

I didn't even realize who he was. Normally I avoid paying attention to celebrities, but these past few weeks you can't get away from celebrity death coverage. I wonder if the rest of the world has stopped. Seems the news media has...
