Renowned Death Hag
When I was doing research on some newspaper archives, I ran into a article that Bruce Dern and his wife Diane Ladd had lost a child due to a drowning in their pool. way back in the early 60's. I think before their daughter Laura was born.

Roy Orbison lost two sons when his house caught fire. He was in Europe, on tour. I think his in-laws were staying with the kids. Apparently the boys were playing with aerosol hair spray and matches.
Very tragic, he had a hard time dealing with it.
Carrol O'Connor's son died of an overdose.

I remember my dad talking about this, the baby was barely a year old and he drowned in the family pool. he never forgave his wife for that.Originally Posted by eca1094
Dr. Dre's Son
Rev Run's baby was still born
Anna Nicole's son
Keanu Reeves baby girl
The statistics are that after the loss of a child the divorce rate sky rockets. My son died back in Feb, 1990 (he was a baby) and our marriage was hell for awhile. Finally divorced in 2002 (which I regret but that's another topic).
Side note regarding King Tuts post regarding Robert Plants son. Most Zep fans probably know this but "All of My Love" was written for his son.
I think Dick Van Dyke had a daughter who died. Also Marlon Brando's daughter died before he did.
one of Gloria Vanderbuilt's Sons Jumped from her 14th floor Apartment in NYC killing himself. Gloria blamed the Asthma Drug Proventil she said it was an allergic reaction. Don't know if there was ever any litigation over it or not. It was the Full brother to CNN's Anderson Cooper.
Barbara Hutton's Only Son Lance died in a plane crash. He was once married to Jill St. John.
that's all off the top of my head.
I think it's Jerry Van Dyke's Daughter. She committed Suicide she was a addict and a Porn Star.
Marlon's Daughter Cheynne committed suicide before Marlon Passed away.
He shot himself because he was addicted to Drugs. He was on that TV show with Carrol in the heat of the night. My mother faithfully watched that show.

Lisa Gherardini (Mona Lisa) her baby had just died when Leonardo DaVinci painted her
Carroll Oâ??Connorâ??s son Hugh
On a side note. Not to long after Ennis died (maybe a year or two) Hubby and I went to see Bill Cosby. He came on stage, and gave this heart wrenching speech about loving your family, friends. Not wasting time and just tell them you love them etc. He then had a spot light come up on a single chair... on the chair was a T-shirt that his son wore. It said... "Hello Friend". He asked that we think of our loved ones, troops in far off places, those that may not have a bed to sleep in, or food to eat, as we listened to the opera song Ave Maria. I have to tell you I am tearing up now just thinking about it. He talked a bit about his son. My gosh that man was so devestated. And the fact that he did that portion of his show for his son...After the song ended he came back on stage. He thanked us for being a part of remembering not only his son but all of our loved ones. Then he put on the funniest show I have EVER seen in my life!

Andy Griffith's son, Sam Griffith, died of an alcohol overdose in 1996. At least, that's what I think it was.
That's right. Dick Van Dyke had a granddaughter who died.
That's an amazing story Shano.
Judy Collins had a son who commited suicide.
Forgot one.My fav songwriter Burt Bacharach and ex-wife Angie Dickinson had a 40 year old daughter who committed suicide because she couldn't live with an inherited condition.Surely must have been tragic for both.

Ex-Prince confirms child born with problem
NEW YORK (AP) -- The artist formerly known as Prince confirmed Thursday that his first child was born in October with some kind of problem, but he would not elaborate.
"All I can say is that I'd like to believe that we're both enlightened individuals that know that if you leave things in God's hands you'll find out everything, and you'll find out the answer to the plan. So anything that happens, we accept," he told NBC's Today, where he appeared with wife Mayte.
The 38-year-old, who uses a symbol for a name, previously refused to comment on reports his child was born prematurely with a deformity.

Death of Prince's baby investigated
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Authorities are reviewing the case of a boy who died a week after he was born to the artist formerly known as Prince and his wife.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner, prosecutors and police confirmed the inquiry Monday, but would not provide details.
Erlene and Arlene Mojica, described as personal assistants close to the musician's wife, have contacted authorities about the case, said their attorney, Larry Altman.
Altman said the twin sisters were fired Dec. 23 by Paisley Park Enterprises, Prince's company, but declined further comment.
The 38-year-old musician, who uses a symbol for a name, acknowledged in December that the child was born with a problem. The death certificate for the boy, who was born Oct. 16 and apparently died Oct. 23, lists his cause of death as complications caused by a rare skull deformity.
Neither the birth nor the death certificate lists a father, and the death certificate does not clearly identify the child's mother.
Dr. John Fangman, listed as the baby's doctor on the death certificate, said the cause of death was natural.

Prince wants privacy about son
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Prince is reportedly trying to prevent two former employees from talking to the media about the death of his son.
Larry Altman, an attorney for twin sisters Erlene and Arlene Mojica, told the Star Tribune newspaper he expected the musician, who prefers to be known as an unpronounceable symbol, to seek a temporary restraining order barring the women from talking to reporters. The sisters were personal assistants to Mayte Garcia-Nelson, Prince's wife.
Altman and Prince's attorney, Bob Weinstine, both told The Associated Press on Thursday that they could not comment.
Prince acknowledged last December that the baby was born with a problem but has said little else.
A birth certificate said that a boy was born to Garcia-Nelson Oct. 16, but said the "mother refused information" about the father. It lists the child's cause of death Oct. 23 to be complications of Pfieffer's syndrome Type 2, a rare skull deformity.

Former Prince wants lawsuit kept private
CHASKA, Minn. (AP) -- The artist formerly known as Prince wants to keep a lawsuit about his private life away from the public.
The Purple Rain star asked a judge to keep proceedings closed in his lawsuit against two former employees who went public with their story about the death of his newborn son.
The rock star has sued Erlene and Arlene Mojica for going to a London tabloid last October, claiming they violated a confidentiality agreement.
His lawyers asked Carver County District Judge Jean Davies on Thursday to make sure nothing more comes out publicly. Davies gave lawyers for both sides until Monday to file papers on the request.
The Mojica sisters have claimed that Prince decided prematurely to shut off life support for his baby, who was born with a deformed skull that often causes retardation or early death.
The artist and his wife have not publicly acknowledged the baby's death, and the child's birth and death records do not clearly document his parentage.

Read this article too...He used his baby's heartbeat as a tympo in a song on this album...That was one FREAKY relationship...
JFK and Jackie had a stillborn daughter before Caroline I believe. When he was buried at Arlington, the little one's grave was moved there too. Also, little Patrick.
Loretta Lynn lost her son Jack Benny in a drowning accident.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans lost three children.
Robin- complications of Down's syndrome
Debbie- church bus accident
Sandy- accidentl alcohol poisoning while serving in the Army overseas
Thanks! Interesting.... how the hell can you get away with not having the parents listed on the Death Certificate?!?
I wonder if Prince felt ashamed that his little boy was not born healthy. What an ass. You would think that he would use his celebrity and speak out about the death of a baby and what it does to parents. God knows that the cause needs him. I mean the Bereaved Parent Cause... shit he is creepy...
How? When you have a weird symbol for a name. That's how.

I don't know if he was ashamed, but I disagree about having to thrust it in the spotlight because he is a celebrity.
Even celebrities are entitled to have private grief, or private burdens without having to become "Examples" or use thier clout to push certain issues. As long as they are not standing up saying "My child does not have such and such problem, when its clear that they do", or negatively impact any public information in any way, I'm fine with them keeping to themselves.

Stooge Larry Fine lost a son in a car accident.
George and Barbara Bush lost a toddler daughter to leukemia.
Fixed.
Geirge H.W. Bush & Barbara's daughter Robin. SEE, I do pay attention to G.O.P. lives! Robin lived from '49-'53.
Another thought that came to me......Brian Kieth who died of suicide in June of '97, following the death of his daughter Daisy in April of the same year.
