RE: Breaking News - Carrie Fisher Dead at 60.

in #news8 years ago

Yes there have been so many David Bowie, Mohammed Ali, Prince, George Michael and so many others. These are the ones that I instanly think of because they meant so much to me. It is strange how someone you have never even met can have such an impact on your life.

Its all to hard to understand, why so many stars, some of them aren't what you would call old, its weird and scary

I think it is stress and drugs mainly for the younger ones.

I think they have a lot to do with it

The last few days is been one a day .. scary

Yes it's been weird. Maybe it the stress of Christmas/New Year as a contributory factor. This tends to be a time when mental health problems reach crisis point and as a result it puts more strain on people emotionally and physically (due to stress hormones like cortisol). People also tend to turn to drugs like alchohol more at this time of year which doesn't help.

Let's hope that's the last of the deaths, its bad enough on the families but worse around a time when you should be celebrating

Yes and I feel for the families - imagine having to arrange a funeral when everyone else is celebrating - plus a lot of businesses are shut off till the New Year. You could end up paying a lot more to make arrangements due to that.
