Watched a programme about her... BM, her husband & her mum.
Lots of pills & weird living conditions involved.
(Very strange set up)

Totally forgot about this. Yeh it her death was crazy as she got pretty ill, was already on some legal drugs, then popped some more to try and overcome the illness but it was too late. Her husband then died a while later and they tried to pin it on the same circumstances, problem was he was a massive alcohol and (likely) drug abuser and his death was probably more linked to that then the initial illness that killed BM.

My shout though is James Gandolfini and Ryan Davis.
 
A couple of weeks ago, I read about a few famous people who had links to the Sept 11th story.
MJ was meant to be in the towers that day but overslept.
He had been up late talking to his Mother & Sister on the phone.

Paula Yates:
She found out in later life, that her Father was actually Hugie Green.
(Not Jess Yates, another popular TV presenter in the 70’s)
Apparently, Jess & his wife had only been married a few weeks, when her Mother had the liaison with HG.
Lena Zavaroni ( already mentioned) had a tragic life too & was discovered on Opportunity Knocks.
( Hosted by Mr Green)

We're not getting into a religious discussion in a thread called "Famous people who died young". It's just far too far off topic.

Just to note, it's got nothing to do with religion. It is history though so perhaps off-topic although most of these people could be classed as historical since they're now deceased.
 
I know that the sixty limit obviously eliminates a lot of famous people... but I thought that it had to be capped somewhere.
Sixty seemed to be roughly the age to be still classed as ‘young’.
( Open to debate, but as I said “age is just but a number”)

I think 'die too young' should be under 30 IMHO.
 
Judith Barsi - ducky in land before time - murdered age 10
