but they cant look away its just sad seeing your favorite person dead like that
Renowned Death Hag
Just saw her brother getting her portrait tatooed on his back in Miami Ink....beautiful work and beautiful girl. Never heard of her before I read about her on FAD... Her story is very sad - horrible way to go. And she seemed like she had alot a head of her

I find myself thinking of her very often; just so damn sad.
I can't believe how long it's been.

I remember hearing it on the radio while I was in a drive thru ordering lunch.I was like Salena who??I didn't hear her music until after her death.I at first thought they nmeant Celine Dion.

Hahahaha...Thats not nice
The pictures people keep referring to were not autopsy photos (no "Y" incision), but morgue photos taken by a crime scene technician at the morgue in the basement of Memorial Medical Center in Corpus Christi. They were later supposedly sold by that crime scene tech to a tabloid for ten thousand dollars, which the tech emphatically denied. Shortly after, he resigned. The murdered woman's father refused to allow a blood transfusion that would have saved her life based on religious beliefs. The father that sued for the unauthorized use of her image, alive or dead, was also "Charging" a fee for people to leave their condolences. She was a wonderful person to everyone she met. She never forgot where she came from. Her father was not of the same caliber. He will probably sue as long as he lives. IThanks for the tip. If anyone has pictures of selena in the morgue or pictures of the crime scene, Please email them to me. Thanks for your help! Scott is there any possibility that you might still have them? Please let me know!
say all of this "allegedly" occurred because I have no desire to be involved in a legal battle. Just a bit of inside info.
Why would you deny your precious daughter a chance of life? I say STUPID. If that was my daughter screw my religous beliefs is she can be helped.Moron.
Actually, Selena did receive blood transfusions without the knowledge of her father. When Abraham Quintanilla found out he protested. However, it was too late and Selena died anyway.
So, so sad. This is the only celeb death that actually got to me. I was just a young teen in junior high.
Renowned Death Hag
I have heard it both ways, that she did get a blood transfusion, but it was too late and that her Father did not allow it and that is why there was a falling out between him and her husband Chris. Does anyone know for sure which story is true? I have always just found it amazing that some people, 50 Cent for example can get shot 60+ times and live and Selena was shot in the shoulder and died almost immediately. I know I know, the whole main artery thing, but you have to admit even still, it's just strange and just plain unexplainable. (Is that a word?)
Senior Death Hag
OMG! So kewl!! I'm fasinated! There a way I can get a full size of each pic?
Senior Death Hag
I would say she did get a blood transfusion. She was in no condition to refuse treatment herself, and being a married woman, if anyone else could deny treatment, it would be her husband, not her father. (see Terri Schiavo).
Renowned Death Hag
Ahhhhh that's true - didn't think about the Terri Schiavo scenerio - that make much more sense. It would be the hubby,but what if he was not there yet? In an emergency would Daddy be able to make decisions if hubby wasn't there? Not trying to be all technical, just really don't know and I am curious....
By all accounts, S..... was a nice, beautiful, talented young lady. Can't say the same for her father. He and his cohorts are POS. IMO they have ruined the memory of her. Don't feel bad, Scott. You are not the only one Mr. Q has made trouble for.
Senior Death Hag
I don't think so. I think they'd probably stick to the legal next-of-kin making decisions, for fear of a lawsuit. Like if Daddy Q said no blood transfusion, S died, then Chris arrives and is distraught that more wasn't done to try to save S. Big lawsuit (even though that wouldn't bring her back).Ahhhhh that's true - didn't think about the Terri Schiavo scenerio - that make much more sense. It would be the hubby,but what if he was not there yet? In an emergency would Daddy be able to make decisions if hubby wasn't there? Not trying to be all technical, just really don't know and I am curious....
Ya know...This thread amazes me...I have now read it from beginning to end...I was not a fan...I don't really dig on pop music...I got SO tired of hearing about her...Yes, she was pretty, yes, she could sing, yes, it's a shame she died the way she did...BUT! If she were alive today...She would be old news...Everyone knows it...So in a sence...Her death has given her the fame that she and her father craved...
When Alliya died...I was upset for her...She was young...Beautiful...And talented...Why isn't she immortalized like Selena...
Whatever...

You know - totally understand where you are coming from, but without the "whatever" attitude. I didn't know too much about her and like most I didn't find interest until after she was gone. I think the biggest "diehard" fans are ones that live here in Texas. I'm sure there are some in other states too, but she was a "Texas Girl" and Tejano has a life of it's own around here. I am not hispanic, but living in Houston, I knew who she was, ya dig? I'm sure there are plenty of hardcore Alliyah's fans who feel the same way about her as do Supeona fans. I'm sure in Alliyah's hometown, there are plenty of RIP Tshirts floating around. Maybe the manner of death could be a factor too - the story itself is an outrageous one. Shot to death by a "friend", not an everyday occurance. Yes a plane crash it TERRIBLE and and a HORRIBLE accident, but the OMG factor is a little different. This is just MHO - I TOTALLY agree with you about her name making more money on her death yadda yadda yadda, but that is just how it goes. I'm sure HE was/is a jerkwad, but nonetheless the loss of a child is there. I agree with cutie242008 - lots of peeps that "die too young" are immortalized (sp).... I mean I think James Dean was hot and all, but if you watch the 3 movies he did, is acting wasn't Oscar worthy ya know.... Thats just one example....

Wheewwwwww! LOL! I thought I was gonna get pounded for the James Dean comment for sure!! I was ready though! =) I mean really, he was hot and cute and mysterious, but that was about it really. It's the whole "tragedy" scenerio that pulls people in.
Not making light of it my "die hard JD Fans" it was very tragic and sad, he was young, but he was no Chuck Norris!
I absolutely adored Selena. I am puerto rican, and when I was younger, I also espired to be a singer. I saw how talented she was, and how dedicated she was to her fans. She inspired me to follow my dreams. here I am, years later, with a degree in music and composition.
The day she died, I mourned her death, I mourned for her family, her friends, and for such an accomplished singer to have passed like that, it just leaves me feeling sad.

I live about 10 miles from her birthplace (Lake Jackson) so her death was a HUGE deal around here. I did see her play once at the Mosquito Fest (yes, we have a friggin' fest for Mosquitoes), but since I don't speak Spanish, the whole performance was lost on me. She did have an excellent voice though and she seemed very nice. Her dad on the other hand....he's a piece of work.
Funny thing about the slab pictures. They actually sold the tabloid (The Globe) with them in it in my area very briefly. Almost as soon as they were put out, they were pulled because someone found them offensive or something. I walked in the store just as some lady was pulling them down. I ran over and grabbed one out of her basket and made a mad dash for the register. My mom thought I was nuts, but I just had to own 'em. I still have them too.

Good! For You! That's the Spirit!
I didn't even know who she was until she died..
Renowned Death Hag
Back in January 1998, her film story was one of the first DVDs available. It was everywhere. That's how I came to know her.
Maybe with those that have died like Alliya it will be a few years before they are really widely known. With James Dean he was not huge until after he had died and his movies came out. I think that the combination of the two really made him huge. But others have become big years after they died. I do agree with you, she was beautiful and talented. I loved Selena when she first crossed over into pop. Was sad when she was murdered but with the release of the movie it just made her bigger.
I got that DVD of her life when she was played by J Ho *ahem* J Lo. Surprisingly it was good. It was really sad in the end when that song was playing and it showed the real Selena. I think it's sad the way she ended up dead just as she was starting to make it big in North America. The killer SaldÃ*var has requested that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals review a petition that challenges her conviction. She claims the petition was filed in 2000 with the 214th District Court but was never sent to the higher court. Her request was received on March 31, 2008, the 13th anniversary of Selena's death.
How the hell can she challenge her conviction??! Selena actually stated before she died who her killer was, Saldivar confessed more than just once that she did it... what is there to challenge? Sometimes our court system really pisses me off.
Today is the 14th anniversary of her death.
RIP Selena.
Thinking of you today Selena. Rest in peace.
14 years already? Man!
Jennifer Lopez did a wonderful job as Selena!
I only heard about 'Supoena' because of the film. Love 'I could fall in love'. What a beautiful song! She would have been huge. Wonder if JLo would have been too if 'Supoena' had been around?

Terri Schiavo also died on 3/31, in 2005.
Other relatively famous 31st day deaths:
May:
1997 - Rosie Will Monroe, WW II icon (Rosie the riveter), dies at 76
August:
1888 - Mary Ann Nicholls, a 42-year-old prostitute, was found stabbed to death in London, 1st of at least five murders by Jack the Ripper
October:
1926 - Harry Houdini, [Erich Weisz], US magician, dies in Detroit
December:
1985 - Rick Nelson, singer/actor (Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet), dies at 45
1993 - Brandon Teena, Transsexual, murdered (b. 1972)
1997 - Michael Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy, dies in ski accident at 39
The site is http://www.historyorb.com/deaths-on-this-day.php and it has a TON of listings, I just grabbed the ones that caught my eye as people I'd definitely heard of. Maybe some of the natural deaths are people "letting go" at the end of a month, nice and tidy-like. The murders and accidents, though...dunno.
I have felt this since I first heard of her. The fact that Abraham continued pushing his son and remaining daughter to continue the business is proof..The movie was also an attempt to make more money off of her.
As a father of a very beautiful girl, I think my first inclination after her death would be to just stop the whole music business. Heck with the fans.

Wow - 14 years doesn't seem that long ago!! I was one of those who found out more about her after her death. I mean, I had seen her in concert at the rodeo in Houston and I knew a few of her songs just because I grew up in a Vato Loco hood here in Houston =), but I still remember where I was when I heard she had been shot. Here in Houston, things went crazy - headlights were on for about two weeks and that was all that was in the papers and in the news. It was a vert tragic story. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. I'm sure the hardcore fans still light candles on this day. You can imagine how many 13/14 year old girls who are running around H-Town today named Selena... =) RIP Sweet Selena.....
Wow, that's like adding insult to injury.
The movie Selena is on TV right now. I'd forgotten about the anniversary of her death. Fourteen years is a while. I hadn't heard of her until after she died, having lived in the north all my life. I have to wonder how successful her English crossover would've been, had she lived. I have to admit I'm a little skeptical. I think "I Could Fall In Love" and "Dreaming Of You" were a little weak for lead off singles, and I don't personally feel they would not have done much on the charts (at least not outside the South)... but *shrug*... we'll never know.
It's interesting to speculate. I think she could've very successfully crossed over, but I don't think it would've happened overnight.
It's that old pre-destiny thing again... had Selena not died, maybe Jennifer Lopez would never have gotten her big break. I strongly believe it was pre-planned that way. Selena decided she'd go at that particular time, so Jennifer could have that opportunity. It was planned while they were in spirit form, before they even came here. Everything happens as it should. Even if it looks like an "accident" or "coincidence."
Just my belief.

This is the song written and performed by Chris Perez, Selenas husband, for her. It really is a very beautiful song!
