Patrick Swayze Dead at 57

Patrick Swayze died at 57 today may he R.I.P

He was a real man.
I think we can all appreciate that cancer is a bitch.

2009 kills another celebrity

So long Pat.

Further proof that smoking kills, no matter how famous you are.

Has anyone found out the pattern of all the celebs that died this year were in their 50s or 60s?

IT'S TIME TO START A CELEBERTY BODY COUNT THREAD FOR 2009!!!!!

Wait, what does pancreatic cancer have to do with smoking?

Pancreatic cancer hits hard and fast. Once you are told the news, you start making peace.

Who's going to lead the Wolverines now?

Hate to say it but you've been beat.

Either way I mourn the loss.

Looks like the topic was merged into this one.

I'm going to go watch Red Dawn again tonight.

What the fuck do you need a pancreas for

I'm sure you're being facetious, but it helps greatly in digestion and also produces important hormones.

Where else would you put all yours creas?

goodnight sweet prince

It seems like every time that a celeb dies, someone claims that the year in question is being particularly hard on celebs. I've seen it happen every year since 2006 and that's only when I started noticing. I see nothing exceptional in 2009 as far as celeb deaths go.

Why don't you go haunt a house? Rattle some chains or something.

There's just been an unusual amount of famous deaths in a short period of time. People die all the time so it's nothing new in and of itself, it's just that several high-profile people have died within recent memory.

This made me laugh.

Haha.

I disagree. There may have been a number of famous people that you have heard of who died in a short space of time, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly dense period of celeb deaths to me. eg Billy Mays - everyone went on about his death being close to others. However, to me, that meant nothing at all 'cause I'd never even heard of the guy. However, if you were a follower of certain sports, you might have thought August 2007 was a particularly bad time to be a celeb given that Gay Brewer, Willie Cunningham, Karloff Lagarde and Doug Maxwell all dies - and on the same day too! But I'm guessing that, for most people around here, that didn't even register. It's easy to pick a handful of deaths and make a pattern out of them. I picked August 31st 2007 totally at random. Look up virtually any date on Wikipedia and you can invent a theme that it was "bad to be X" on that day.

Carradine is the only person from Mionics list that I've known about before their death.
