5 Celebrities That Have Passed Away Way Too Soon
It’s always sad when someone passes away and even more so when they were a truly remarkable human being that went away at a very young age.
We know that eventually all of us will die, but we never expect people to die of anything else than old age.
Somehow it hits us pretty hard when we find out that a celebrity has died and that we won’t be seeing any more movies or albums made by them, even though we knew they had more in them and that they shouldn’t have died so soon.
According to billionairesweb.com, there are quite a few celebrities that have died way too early, leaving behind countless fans and heartbroken family members and loved ones.
We want to pay tribute to five of the most beloved stars that have stopped shining too soon:
Paul Walker (September 12, 1973 – November 30, 2013)
Paul Walker was the latest celebrity to pass away at such a young age. Walker was riding in the passenger seat of his friend Roger Rodas’ Porsche this past Saturday.
The car smashed into a tree and light pole and exploded into flames, instantly killing Paul Walker and his friend.
Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 – January 22, 2008)
Australian-born Heath Ledger was honestly one of Gen-Y’s favorite actors. He was best known for his roles in “10 Things I Hate About You,” “The Patriot,” “Brokeback Mountain” and “The Dark Night.”
Ultimately, it was determined that Heath Ledger died from an accidental drug overdose of prescription medication.
Aaliyah (January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001)
Everyone’s heart broke when the death of young singer Aaliyah was announced. She and her crew were flying back early from filming the video for “Rock The Boat” in the Bahamas.
The plane’s weight limit was exceeded with the addition of one extra passenger and supplemental baggage. As a result, the plane crashed shortly after takeoff, killing her and the eight other passengers aboard.
Brittany Murphy (Nov. 10, 1977 – Dec. 20, 2009)
The cause of Brittany Murphy’s death is still not fully determined. The latest hypothesis is that the young actress was poisoned.
Her husband died shortly after from identical circumstances. The latest toxicology report postulates, according to Daily Mail, that “rat poisoning may have been the real cause behind the death.”
Amy Winehouse (September 14, 1983 – July 23, 2011)
English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse had an extensive history of binge drinking after she apparently kicked her drug habit.
Over the next few years, she experienced different periods of relapse. One of these relapses proved fatal and resulted in her ultimate demise.
