Yup...I agree Sean. You my friend have one of the best senses of humor around here!

Just to add my two cents, despite all of our jokes about some of the most popular or "in your face celebs" it is truly sad to see anyone die. They have families that love them and are truly missing them. I know I joke about them alot but not when it comes to their death.

To be honest, deaths like Carradine's are terrible. The media wouldn't let him go in peace at all. Let the man die with some dignity We all deserve at least that much respect. I guess I am a little more cognizant of this since my wife came close to dying earlier this week. She may not be a celeb to many but me, but I almost lost her all the same.

I wonder if he died from epidural hematoma, just like Natasha Richardson.
Do you mean subdural hematoma? I know you did, I was just joking.....

That was the US Scareways (Airways) plane that lost it nose gear in Tampa. I guess the FAA has stated he did not have his seat belt on and has already said it. The really scary thing about a subdural hematoma is that you have no symptoms other than a headache and maybe some nausea. It is also very close to concussion symptoms.

Exactly.The coarsening of society. Seems like more people have less respect for the dead. Even if they are an image on a TV screen they are still real people with loved ones.
Vaya Con Dios, Billy Mays.

No. I meant epidural-hematoma.
It's what killed N. Richardson, according to the web.
