Anne Heche’s death had to be the most confusing and terrifying thing I’ve ever heard and seen. The way she was flailing around on the hospital stretcher and the paramedics were holding her down and stuff. May she rest in peace

Phil Harman's death always makes me sad knowing him as troy macular and Lionel hutts. His trump sketch was so spot on crazy how ahead of his time he was😢

Vic Morrow. His death along with the death of 2 child actors in "Twilight Zone, the Movie" was tragic and led to criminal charges being brought to court and also changed rules regarding children in action scenes (among other things).

This should of have been a longer list
@HeyItsIgnasio

The biggest sudden celebrity death was John Lennon, by far. He was such an important cultural figure, something died in our society when he was taken from us.

10 year old Judith Barsi being killed by her father is just as disturbing as Marvin Gaye's death.

Gene Hackmans death sucks, not bc he died, but bc of the way he went. He was talented dude. He wasn’t your conventional good looking heartthrob that can’t act and got a break or nepotism….like friggin Scott Eastwood(1st person that popped in). He was a talented man that took his work so seriously that it gave him heart problems. As bad as his lex was written in Superman he played it to the best of his ability and it showed for 3 films…one of them unbelievably bad. Gene delivered. I was hurt to see his last years weren’t ideal.

What about the murder of Selena? Being shot to death by your fan club President would certainly warrant a mention as disturbing.

Trivia on Aaliyah:
Boyz II Men made the rendition of the song "Think of Laura", as they renamed it as "Think of Aaliyah ". It may be coincidence that they sang this in memory of Aaliyah.

Knowing what we know now about Polanski, is it a stretch to say he may have set Sharon Tate up?

Rip gene Hackman and his wife 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@ChennaJCook

Steve Irwin, hello? Yeah, he had a dangerous job, but he was still in the prime of his life and died so suddenly, plus there had never been a recorded fatal stingray attack.
@Kissmyassbitch3100
October 2, 2025 at 10:54 am
Michael Jackson should have been on this list. The paramedics found him with his eyes and mouth wide open, if thats not disturbing idk what is..
@mistermattmoose
October 2, 2025 at 10:54 am
this should have 20, not 10. how can you leave out freddie prinze, rebecca shaffer or sam kinison, amongst others?
@Jumblewood.8090

Much more could have been added, need a Top 20 video on this topic

One that always affected me the most was Phil Hartman. Because it was so sad. She was so jealous and so insecure, and she just took them out. That one has always been so senseless to me.😢
@DerekScottBland
October 2, 2025 at 10:54 am
It always needs to be noted that Hartman's wife was a recovering addict, and Andy Dick ruined her sobriety which is what lead to her killing Hartman. Dick even bragged about being the one who did it.

Phil Hartman was the greatest sketch comic of all time. Still miss his weird and hilarious antics. RIP.

It sucks that Brittany Murphy died young but I never found her likable and Paul Walker and dude were driving like idiots so it was karma again sucks they died but if you act like that it’s what happens

I didn't know the pilot who flew Aaliyah was a liar and drunk. If she were still alive, she would be on tour with either Beyonce or Rihanna.

No Ryan Dunn? He may have not been a big celebrity but he definitely made an impact with his death

Anne Heche and Jayne Mansfield. Maybe a traffic oriented one? Their deaths were so horrid. Poor souls.

The reporter's name, "Dick Shoemaker", gave me a bit of a chuckle and lightened the mood in an otherwise very sombre video. Thank you for that.
