WHET cause of death for celebrities?

I don't see the problem.

Well, often it's not immediately known because the death is unexpected and they need to do an autopsy first. We do know Leslie Jrodan had been having chest pains in the day before his fatal car crash, and that he was undetoing some sort of medial emegrancy when he crashed: i think it's pretty safe to say he had a heart attack. We should know irene Cara's and Christine McVie's death in time, but they were unexpected deaths and so they're unwilling to say what killed them until they know for sure (with pop/rock stars, if there's an unexpectd death it can often be drugs, but out of respect for the families people are often unwilling to say until things are known definitively).

Weirdly enough, the only real conspiracy i see happening recently is with the death of Elizabeth II: the palace only announced "old age" as the cause of death, but there are persistent rumors now that she died of myeloma (bone cancer). I think the palace will admit it eventually, but they want to move past her death and into the new reign of Charles III so people don't feel too sad for the queen being in pain at the end.

In recent years the only really surprising death (from the public's POV) where the family will not announce the cause of death i can think of is Phillip "TV's Tommy from 'Alice,'" other than to say he died at the end of a long illness. it must have been something thta embarrassed the family (AIDS?) which is why they won't release the actual cause of death.

Too much poppers!

The cause of death of senior royals is almost never made public. Even for private individual's in the UK it can be vague without an inquest.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Um, interesting you should ask, OP. I was reading the article about Christine's passing on MSN.com, and this paragraph was added at the end. I don't think it was a mistake:

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1800-273-TALK (8255), text "help" to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

R6 link?

R7, bitches like you are exhausting. Why can't you do a fucking search? Here is the link. Scroll to the very end of the article. (You may need to hit a couple of "Continue reading" buttons, if that is not too tiring for you.

R8 Idiots like you are so desperate. The site doesn't contain your little made-up link, dumbass.

Watermelon diet!

I agree, OP. We need to know.

Fuck you, R9. it was there a few hours ago, but has since been removed. (Imagine that!) I have a screenshot of the end of the article, but am unable to attach it to this thread. Christine was actually my favorite members of Fleetwood Mac. There were three sociopaths (Stevie. Lindsey and Mick), and two quiet (Thank God!) members. Christine was quiet but incredibly talented and funny. I will miss her. I was a huge fan. R9, you are probably not a fan at all but just an instigator. But I do have a screenshot of the article. It will come out eventually, and it is truly tragic news.

R12 I liked her a lot, also. You seem unstable. I hope things improve for you.

Whatever. Have a nice life, R9.

"it was there a few hours ago, but has since been removed"

R12 - riiiiiiight, got it

Just wait for the autopsy results

Wait and see...

R12, you can upload your screenshot to imgur.com, grab the link, and post it here.

Honestly, OP, it is none of your fucking business.

I think most of them die of a broken heart.

Irene and Christine were both drug related: heart failure from years of prolonged, hardcore cocaine abuse.

Somebody (family or a friend?) posted here that he died of emphysema.

Bad sushi.

Wasn’t she a smoker?

R19 I agree it’s none of our fucking business. I just noticed something that was automatically done before that stopped.

Ann Reinking and Ray Liotta are also two recent deaths that have never been explained as far as I know.

Obituary without a cause of death is useless, like a sex rumor without photos.

Sometimes the family does not make cause of death public and there’s no reason why they have to.

Im keeping track of covid related deaths, informally. I would like to know.

Some people at the start of covid were specifically announcing the death wasn't covid related. Brian Dennehy's family I remember doing that.

Christine was never a big coke user (according to Mick Fleetwood in one of his books). She liked wine and after one account, slapped Buckingham in the face because he made a scene during a show during the "Tusk" tour. There was never an account of a drug problem. Stevie, Lindsey and Mick, however ... Not the same account.

Cara (63) and Jordan (67 going on 81) died youngish. Celeb defenders (no one on DL) will say "it's the family's right to keep it private!". They must have good publicists to suppress the press.

Liotta looked pasty and ill before his death, drained

Meat Loaf died in Nashville, Tennessee, on the evening of January 20, 2022, at the age of 74.

No official cause of death was released.

He was reportedly ill with COVID-19 earlier in January and reporting by TMZ suggested that he died from COVID-19 complications.

After his health rapidly declined, his two daughters rushed to see him in the hospital with his wife being beside him as he died.

His daughter had posted to Instagram in early January that: "We are not sick, but we have too many friends and family testing positive [for COVID-19] right now, positive but doing OK.

[quote] Liotta looked pasty and ill before his death, drained

He looked like that since Goodfellas wrapped

Re: Meatloaf, "He had a certain naive charm, but no muscle."3

Celebs have been publicizing all the shitty aspects of their lives while living, what stops them from telling the public the cause of their death when they die? Such a cop-out.

They're still investigating Leslie Jordan's death and have yet to make a ruling on his cause of death. There was speculation he had a heart attack or some other medical emergency, which caused him to crash his car. But if it was something like that, it would've showed in his autopsy, and they would've made their ruling on the cause. I suspect that they think he might have been under the influence of something and they're waiting to get the toxicology reports back before making their ruling. That can take several months sometimes, and it's been nearly 6 weeks since he died.

Here's the link to his case detail on the LA coroner's website.

Who wants to bet that Fleetwood Mac will reunite after an agreeable time to tour again. "In Christine's memory," no less. Stevie knows that the loss of Christine means that she HAS to bring Buckinham onboard for the next one. And there will ALWAYS be a next tour for Stevie. She's magnetic, but she is loud, demeaning and lazy. She does not like to write or record anymore. She just wants to tour, sing, dance and spout off at the mouth at concerts. That is what she is. Christine was never like that.

R8, who the fuck still uses MSN to begin with?

R33, it's kind of sad that apparently his last movie that he will be known for is "Cocaine Bear".

I did see the suicide notice on MSN’s website on Christine. It’s still on there.

Another odd death, "after a brief illness" was Marvin Hamlisch's death.

Here is what Google says

"the death certificate, filed in Los Angeles, shows that Hamlisch died primarily from respiratory arrest (lung failure) caused by a combination of anoxic brain encephalopathy (failure of oxygen to reach the brain) and hypertension (high blood pressure).

I also think there was more to the deaths of George Peppard, Miles Davis, Patrick Swayze and NYC Cardinals Cooke and O'Connor.

Extreme stress. You're too fat, your'e too thin. Don't wear this, wear that. Smile all the time. You can be replaced.

It's our business. We deserve to know.

Well, after the sordid demise of Chris Burrous, celebrities banded together and agreed to keep cause of death private.

Lol as if that stops public speculation in the age of social media.

I've wondered that too. I wonder what Irene Cara died from.

Why is R42 insisting that Christine McVie died from suicided? She was ill according to her family and John McVie.

R49 It's a troll who loves when people fall for its desperation.

I think Rock Hudson had the AIDS.

The offspring of a reality television figure, Dog the Bounty Hunter has died recently during a Zoom call! He was 50 and died of a stroke. Covid? Causes vascular injury including stroke and heart attack.

Beth Howland???

Aretha?

Brittany Murphy

Raoul Julia

Read all about it in Mike Steen's three volumes

[quote] Honestly, OP, it is none of your fucking business.

You've announcing this on a fucking [italic]gossip forum,[/italic] hon.

[quote]I also think there was more to the deaths of George Peppard, Miles Davis, Patrick Swayze and NYC Cardinals Cooke and O'Connor.

More to Swayze's death than cancer? It doesn't sound like it. Do you think there was more to Chadwick Boseman's death too?

R49, "suicided"? There's no such word.

yes r60 but there are such things as typos

Christine died “after a short illness.” I would imagine that means cancer.

R49, sometimes when people have a painful terminal illness they commit suicide. Cancer patients can sometimes have a very hard time and decide to end it.

It’s generally fire on DL, Rose.

Either grease or on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

[quote]Somebody (family or a friend?) posted here that he died of emphysema.

With those horse teeth and the rumor he was hung like one, I'd have guessed Hoof and Mouth disease.

I think Christine either had cancer or Covid. Leslie Jordan was much older than they claimed (76 not 67!) so heart attack /age combo seems plausible. Bob Saget is the one I’m having a hard time comprehending. The hit to the back of the head…I just don’t get it, I know he had Covid but that is just odd if he passed out from it and hit his head wouldn’t he have been where he bashed it not in his bed?

The other thing is headlines no longer blare “DEAD AT 42.” It’s a hushed “so and so has died.”

And all these people in their 50’s who die on a zoom call or in their sleep. It’s like the rapture.

Murder most foul! Every single one of them!

Dying in your sleep is a blessing.

Did we ever find out what happened with the two guys found dead in the hotel in Chicago?

One was an older coach or something. It was all pretty fishy.

I believe Christine’s death was described as being after a short illness. I saw nothing to indicate suicide.

Why are all these people under age 60 dying?

And this guy too

R74 Ew, I've seen better heads on boils

R74, thanks, I mistakenly identified that guy as a relative of Dog.

I wonder WHO could be responsible for all these deaths..?

Irene Cara was obv too ugly. So no one would touch that shit but TMZ usually shows their death certificates.

They were all murder/suicides.

The Clintons were involved.
