Who's Death Shocked You the Most?

Post Reply New Topic

^I knew a boy in 6th grade. We used to play with him at recess. He had died at a birthday. We went to his funeral and it was an opened casket. I think I was in more shock than tears at that time. Still bugs me to this day, too young.

^The pic isn't showing.

River Phoenix (1970-1993). He died of a drug overdose on the sidewalk outside Johnny Depp's Viper Room club.

^I was a kid at the time it happened but when I saw movies of his when I was older, I was shocked to hear about it.

This pigs death.
(Removed upon request )

Actually there was documentary about something unrelated. And they slaughter a pig. Unlike this pig, it screamed like a baby being tortured. it wasn't nice

Sorry Aspie_Chav, but we do not allow depictions of deaths on WP. Read the rules, please. I removed the video.

i know how you felt. i was at work when i found out about Dime. my supervisor said "hey you hear about this metal guitarist shot at a show last night? what was his name? something Darrell...". i went "you mean Dimebag Darrell?". i immediately thought it was impossible. he took me to the break room and showed me the paper, name said Dimebag Darrell. i still didn't believe it, Dime couldn't be dead. went home looked up his website, tribute was there.

if we want to get personal about deaths, a friend of mine killed himself in January. he was the singer of my favorite local band (Ophur, google them, they're awesome). drove himself in front of a train in Downer's Grove. just recently had had a son. he and the band had long broken up, but you still have those idle fantasies that they might someday get back together, y'know? now it'll never happen...

i think that's how i know death is shocking to me. when my first emotion is disbelief. "no, that's not possible. they can't be dead." it just doesn't register.

I have faith in your judgement dude.

Animals that get tortured is the ultimate for me.

By death, I mean real life stuff, not to mention cruelty to animals.



Sorry.

For me, it was:

Phil Hartman, Princess Di, Selena, Heath Ledger, Brad Renfro, and Ken Caminiti (played for the Astros for years).

(Probably the first person to mention a sports figure on here)

It was pretty shocking for me when I heard about princess Diana and mother Theresa for the first time - you get how it works: for all your life you used to watch some celebrity on the news, read about him/her in magazines and suddenly this stops.

Every time this feeling wasn't based on my attachment to them, I never cried even for the members of my own family who passed away so how could I in this case, even not having known those famous people in person - the reason of this had its source in my love for routine - they existed and this existence suddenly finished.

For the same reason it was a big shock every time when I heard about my uncle, grandpa and grandma - that I'd never see nor hear them.

I never really get too upset with celebrity deaths, the closest, and certainly most heartbreaking, was Starbuline's. But it's a controversial topic at best, so no more about it.

Princess Diana's because totally unexpected and could relate being a mother of 2 boys myself..

steve irwins death shocked me
