What in the World is Going On?
Just heard that Steve McNair was found shot to death in downtown Nashville earlier today. So adding that to Carradine, McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson, and Mays; that's six celebrities that have died in the last three weeks. My heart goes out to all of the families of the recently deceased. At the same time, this is almost too much in too short of a time. The news stations probably won't stop talking about celebrity deaths for the next 6 months.
While McMahon and Fawcett both fought valiantly against cancer and eventually succumbed, the rest of the list all died untimely deaths. Carradine died from something that I'll probably make fun of in future blog posts, but I'll leave it alone for now. We don't really know what happened to Michael Jackson, but pills seem likely to have a hand in his death. Billy Mays died from coronary artery disease at the age 50. And now McNair is found dead at the age of 36. The really crazy thing is that all of them are people I genuinely liked for one reason or another. Hopefully this is the last celebrity death for a while.
