Cool people who died “young”

[Taylor]

Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel Smith died at the age of 20 from a combination of meds he was taking for depression and pain killers he had stole from his mom's purse. One of the twins from Everybody Loves Raymond shot himself before turning 20. Comedian Richard Jeni, shot himself at 49. Dana Plato, Britney Murphey, Aaliah, Anton Yelchin also come to mind. On a side note it has always been a dream of mine to be a member of the 27 club but have unfortunately lived past that age:(

Wow, I had no idea about Anna Nicole Smith's son and the Everybody Love's Raymond twin. That's sad :(

Nice list. I think SRV's cover of "Little Wing" is better than the Hendrix original.

As far as I'm concerned, SRV was a god. I was lucky enough to see him play live for David Bowie on the Glass Spider tour in 1987.

lol Lil Peep?! What the fuck is that?

I can't help but feel guilty about leaving this world prematurely, no matter how bad I'm suffering. I know it's just the stigma of suicide and the societal brainwashing, telling us we're all supposed to suffer until we're 80 and slowly die naturally, but it still gets to me.

One thing that helps me feel better and puts it into perspective that we're all going to die, that it's just a natural part of life, and age and the cause of death is irrelevant, is thinking of some really cool, legendary people who departed early, whom I idolize, regardless of whether they accidentally or intentionally ended their life, we're killed, etc. and how I want to be just like them and go out at a young age. My list would currently be:

• Kurt Cobain
• Heath Ledger
• Mac Miller
• XXXTentacion
• Lil Peep

What would yours be?

That's okay. He passed away a long time ago.
I was 15 when he died, I'm 44 now.

But when I saw the thread title, he was the first I thought of.
He was an amazing dad. Well worth a mention in my book :)

without modern medicine we would die way earlier though. nothing about 80 is natural bro.




i dont idolize him but this guy is pretty famous and died young too

Yes I envy the older generations like in the 1800s they got to die young a lot of times thus minimizing their suffering, shorter life expectancy
