Brandon Lee and Selena and River Phoenix (on Halloween). What the fuck is it about the 31st of the month that draws death?
R.I.P Selena -- she has been the celeb death that shocked me and made me sad. I was a kiddo back then but I loved her music.
What I think is sad is that after her death her family was torn a apart. I just saw a recent interview with her brother Abby (on Cristina) that the family pretty much had a fall-out after her death. His relationship with his father was strained and with his sister Suzy. He said Selena was the glue that held that family together. However, he says that since then the family has patched things up. He is close to his father and for once the whole family smile when they talk about Selena and remember the good times they had with her.
15 years gone by...RIP Selena (listening to Si Una Vez right now)
I'll be visiting her grave (& that ghastly bronze statue) in 2 weeks. I have my Death Hag sticker ready to go!I'll make sure to take pics!

Yes, there was an autopsy report that was published in a Mexican mag some years ago. I think I have a scan of the actual report somewhere...
Shell be on a US postage stamp next year. Now you can lick her backside.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
You know, the one who can't be named because her cray-cray dad sues everyone? I remember it was hilarious & wanted to forward it to a friend, but can't remember what listing to find it under in the directory.
If you don't know which Latin singer I am referring to, she's the young one who was shot years ago whose names looks just like 'Helena' & has a bigger butt than Minneapolis. Thank, fellow hags!![]()
Subpoena
Subpoena is on right now and my wife is making me watch. Her dad was such a well, you know!
I saw one of her autopsy pics awhile back, sorry, I don't have the link. So sad, but I always got the feeling that we have never really heard the whole story there.
16 years ago today...RIP![]()

God that face on her grave creeps me the eff out!
I don't like that face thing on her grave either.
I hope it is just the angle and the lighting but the face thing looks more like the person who shot her than her.
I agree. That grave plate thing is hideous and does somewhat resemble Yolanda Saldivar.
Here are pics of the Selena statue.

Did they move the statue? One of my brothers visited it and the pictures he took look like it was in another location and there wasn't a railing around it.
This story still makes me sad to be shot in the back by some coward that's terrible.

Video for 'Best I Can' by Chris Perez...not a slideshow...
That grave plate is really awful. The Chris Perez song is so sad. Anyone know if he ever remarried?
If I remember correctly, the Quintanilla family was happy for Chris. Years ago People magazine did an article on the family and by that time Chris was married and had either had his first child or was expecting a baby. From what I remember he was still close to them and the family was happy that he had found happiness.
According to his Wiki page he remarried and has two kids but his wife filed for divorce in 2008.
Happy Birthday to you Selena!
I'm sure her Dad is selling Happy Birthday Selena tshirts somewhere as we speak. Happy Birthday!
^Her dad will never stop trying to make money off of her. Poor thing.
Happy 40th Sel. Your fans will never forget you.

It's been said before, her dad should have kept an eye on that crazy woman who took care of her fan club!
She had too much control.
One of the links someone posted on here had an interview with her family. The interviewer asked her sister if it was "hard to watch" her videos...This was about 6 or 7 years after her death, the sister said "No, it's not hard" and then the father goes "Time heals all wounds and it has" I was like WTF?! I don't think time EVER heals the wound of your daughters murder!!!!!!!
I just recently saw the movie "Selena" and I decided that movie-Chris was much better looking than real-Chris. Just my two cents.
It usually seems to work that way in the movies. Although I think real-Sel was prettier than Jennifer Lopez, but maybe that's just cause Jennifer Lopez gets on my nerves. That girls has got way too much attitude!!
ITA and think that had Subpoena lived, she would have been much more versatile and classy than Jennifer...she is just tacky IMO, and not that talented of a singer or actress. Can you believe they paid her 12M dollars for one year of the ridiculous American Idol?![]()

I agree, I don't think she's particularly good as a singer or an actress. I don't think if Selena had lived she'd have ever really gotten off the ground. The only thing I can say she's very talented with is dancing.
My father died when I was 20, my mother when I was 23...but it wasn't till I saw the Selena autopsy pics when I was 25 that made me realize that death is just around the corner. I didn't sleep for a few months after that.
WOW! I did not know someone could look that beautiful in a casket (well accept my parents) She looks like sleepingbeauty!
I saw some crime photos but they looked bogus to me (they probably were)
Does anyone still have the autopsy photos of Selena? None of the links posted work, and I can't find them googling.
Here, but no idea how long before its deleted. http://oi52.tinypic.com/rvbkep.jpg
It just amazes me how that one bullet hole ended her life. You hear about people getting shot in the face, the throat even 50Cent being shot a million times and they pulled through... Sad Sad Sad...
My Posse's On Broadway
It was serve Blood Loss and Cardiac Arrest.
from the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_o...a#Black_Friday
At 11:49 am, SaldÃ*var drew a gun from her purse, pointing it at Selena.[15] As the singer turned and left the room, SaldÃ*var shot her once on the right lower shoulder, severing a major artery which led from Selena's heart, resulting in a massive loss of blood.[15] Critically wounded, Selena ran towards the lobby to get help, leaving behind her a trail of blood measuring three-hundred and ninety-two feet.[15] She collapsed on the floor as the clerk called 911, with SaldÃ*var chasing after her, calling her a "bitch".[16] Selena began holding her chest and screaming "Help me! Help me! I've been shot!" Before collapsing to the floor, Selena named SaldÃ*var as her assailant and gave the room number where she had been shot.[17] Selena's condition began to decline rapidly as motel staff tried to comfort Selena who at the time was in distress.[15] A staff member began trying to talk to Selena, but noted that Selena was beginning to fade away.[15] He also stated that there were less and less moaning and movement from Selena. An ambulance arrived at the scene in a minute and fifty-two seconds.[15] The paramedics applied a Vaseline gloss on Selena's wound which immediately stopped the internal bleeding.[15] At this time, Selena's heartbeat was very slow as a paramedic performed CPR to recirculate blood to Selena's brain and heart.[15] Meanwhile, Saldivar got into her pick-up truck and attempted to leave the parking lot of the hotel. However, a police cruiser saw the vehicle. Saldivar then backed up and parked herself adjacent to two cars.[15] The police blocked Saldivar's truck and told Saldivar to come out. Saldivar then picked up the pistol and pointed it to her right temple, threatening to commit suicide.[15] The SWAT and the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit were brought in.[15] During this time, a paramedic tried inserting an IV in Selena, but due to Selena's massive blood loss and having little or no blood pressure her veins collapsed, making it extremely difficult to insert an IV.[15]
Navigation Boulevard was completely shut down by local police.[15] At 12:00 p.m. paramedics arrived at Memorial Hospital. Selena was transferred to the trauma room where doctors and surgeons began performing blood transfusions to reestablish circulation.[15] Doctors performed the transfusions after they had opened Selena's chest, finding major internal bleeding.[15] The gun shot pierced Selena's artery and after fifty minutes, doctors found out that the damaged done was irreparable.[15] Selena was pronounced dead at 1:05 P.M. due to extensive blood loss and cardiac arrest, two weeks before her 24th birthday and two days before the third anniversary of her wedding to Chris Perez.
