This is my first celeb death that is surreal and weird and just generally feels wrong like this person should always exist in the background. I really hope that his story brings some lessons and guidance for others. And i hope that those who knew and loved Matthew find a soothing peace in the coming days and months.

Really? I'm completely unsurprised he drowned in a hot tub. I figured that or overdose. He's been a mess for a while.

Ring-a-ding-ding, baby, what a way to go.

Really? Not Alan Rickman, Bob Saget, David Bowie, or Robin Williams?

[–] Sunroc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Anthony Bourdain.

Robin Williams

This one still hurts.

They were sad and deep losses to the industry. I still can't bring myself to watch a a Robin Williams film.

But for whatever reason none of them had given me this sort of what feeling. That's all.

Have you read kitchen confidential yet? I had bought the book years before he passed but never got around to read it. And then he died and I couldn't bring myself to read it, until earlier this year. I am so absolutely glad I have that book, it's like hanging out with him.

Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell...Amy Winehouse...

I'm doing my best to be unhealthy so I die before Weird Al. I won't be able to handle it.

That's like your favorite uncle dyingv
