    It is eerie. I remember seeing a special about her on PBS. Carmen is dancing then stumbles and falls. It's apparent something is wrong but she tries to continues and finish her dance. Durante also tries to help her continue but she was having a heart attack.

    Ayrton Senna died during the San Marino Grand Prix after an horrific crash, live on TV. Twenty four hours earlier Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger also died during qualifying for that race.

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4b...n-sennas_sport

    Nearly choked on my coffee when that happened. Mind you motorsport has had it's fair share of them. Gilles Villenueve was killed during a race and Graham Hill killed in a helicopter crash returning from a race meeting in France.

    Also note that in rally driving two legends Colin McRae (plane crash alongside his young son and his friend) and Richard Burns (brain tumour) took far too young. These two had some terrific rivalries.

    Marc Vivien Foe was an African footballer who died on the field of play of a heart attack. Miklos Fehrer was a Hungarian player who also died shortly after being booked during a match also of cardiac arrest. This video is unbearably sad.

    Nodar Kumaritashvil was a Georgian luger who died of massive injuries after a 90mph crash into a steel bar at the Winter Olympics 2010 in Canada. His funeral video is v v sad and more than a bit bizarre to us in the west. YouTube it if you're not afraid of the dead body of a man in a casket being paraded trophy like through the streets of a Soviet village. His mother's grief is almost unbearably poignant.

    I forgot to say that the Melanie Thornton video shows her singing during a concert in Leipzig Germany on November 24th 2001 (where she's wearing a hat). Later that day she boarded the Cross Air flight.

    Saw a car the other day that had a sticker on it that read: "When in doubt, go flat out." Which is a quote from Colin McRae. My BF and I were watching the WRC Rally de Portugal last night, and I quote Colin, just as the driver being interviewed about his plans for the section they were about to drive said he was going to drive flat out. It cracked us both up. Colin would have been proud.

    I have recently acquired a DVD set of the first season of CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU? It is my second favorite sitcom of all time (TAGS is first). While doing some research about the cast I found out that Joe E. Ross (Officer Gunther Toody) died while performing on stage. Joe's pal Rodney Dangerfield said that Joe was such a whoremaster that when he died all the whores on Sunset wore their panties at half mast. OOOOOOH OOOOOOOH!

    Has anyone mentioned Michael Hutchence
    Hutchence and INXS went on a world tour to support the April 1997 release of Elegantly Wasted, both the album and its related singles had less chart success.[1] The final leg of their 20th anniversary tour was to be in Australia in November and December. However, on the morning of 22 November 1997, Hutchence, aged 37, was found dead in Room 524 at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Double Bay, Sydney.[1][39]
    On 6 February 1998, after an autopsy and coronial inquest, New South Wales State Coroner, Derrick Hand, presented his report which ruled that Hutchence's death was a suicide while depressed and under the influence of drugs and alcohol:[39]

    Why bump an old thread? Found a video of the crash that killed Paul Mantz during the filming of "Flight of the Phoenix" (the 1965 version not that 2004 POC). Hope it is not posted elsewhere but a search of "Paul Mantz" only turned up this thread. While there was a death involved in this video, there are no graphic "blood & guts" visible. Still, watch at your own discretion.

    I remember the case of Sel... (the singer whose name rhymes with Subpoena): she died when she was recording a disc in english. Her disc in english made her more famous.

    I'm sure someone has already mentioned the late, great Heath Ledger. Still sad over that one...

    Died While On Tour

    Suprised I didn't see Hank Williams on here. I apologize if he is and I missed him! Since he had 35 singles and five were released posthumously I think he falls in this category.

    On December 31, 1952, Williams was scheduled to perform at the Municipal Auditorium in Charleston, West Virginia. Advance ticket sales totaled US$3,500 (equivalent to $30,600 in 2012). Because of an ice storm in the Nashville area, Williams could not fly, so he hired a college student, Charles Carr, to drive him to the concerts. Carr called the Charleston auditorium from Knoxville to say that Williams would not arrive on time owing to the ice storm and was ordered to drive Williams to Canton, Ohio for the New Year's Day concert there.

    They arrived at the Andrew Johnson Hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Carr requested a doctor for Williams, as he was feeling the combination of the chloral hydrate and alcohol he had drunk on the way from Montgomery to Knoxville. Dr. P.H. Cardwell injected Williams with two shots of vitamin B12 that also contained a quarter-grain of morphine. Carr and Williams checked out of the hotel, the porters had to carry Williams to the car, as he was coughing and hiccupping. At around midnight on January 1, 1953, when they crossed the Tennessee state line and arrived in Bristol, Virginia, Carr stopped at a small all-night restaurant and asked Williams if he wanted to eat. Williams said he did not, and those are believed to be his last words.

    Carr later drove on until he stopped for fuel at a gas station in Oak Hill, West Virginia, where he noticed Williams asleep in the back seat; he was unresponsive and his body was becoming rigid. Feeling Williams's pulse, Carr immediately realized that he was dead. Carr informed the filling station's owner, Glenn Burdette, who called the chief of the local police, O.H. Stamey. Because a corpse was involved, Stamey called in radio officer Howard Janney. Stamey and Janney found some empty beer cans and the unfinished handwritten lyrics to a song yet to be recorded in the Cadillac convertible.

    Kind of surreal that he passed on while Charles Carr was driving, I wonder how long he drove pre-corpse/post-passenger? I also wonder what the handwritten lyrics were? Kinda neat that Charles heard Hank's last words and he did not want to eat. I also read "..that, apparently unrelated to his death, Williams had also been severely kicked in the groin during a fight in a Montgomery bar a few days earlier in which he had also injured his left arm, which was subsequently bandaged."

    That evening, when the announcer at Canton announced Williams's death to the gathered crowd, they started laughing, thinking that it was just another excuse. After Hawkshaw Hawkins and other performers started singing "I Saw the Light" as a tribute to Williams, the crowd, now realizing that he was indeed dead, followed them.

    Surprisingly there was/is some controversy surrounding his death:

    The circumstances of Williams's death are still controversial, The result of the original autopsy indicated that Williams died of a heart attack. Author Collin Escott concluded in his book Hank Williams: The Biography that the cause of death was the mixture of the combination of alcohol, morphine and chloral hydrate.

    I've seen Hank Williams's grandson Hank III and The Damn Band a number of times over the last few years and the resemblance really is uncanny. His shows are always high octane, high energy, genuine, long and really quite a lot of fun. Besides looking like his grandpop (who IMO was an incredibly good lookin' fella in his day; see below) his country music and his voice have an ambient, haunting, lonesome mood that sounds like good ol' country music used to sound. I think luckily, it's probably in the genes!

    I was going to say that too. So sad. If I remember correctly, he had literally just gotten married the week before and had a very small son.

    Also, to all of those who brought up Carmen Miranda, she was so beautiful and talented! I saw her biography on A&E and the scene where she's performing and falls to her knees is so sad and scary. I thought she was gorgeous beyond words.

    Hmmm, let's see...


    • Italian soccer coach Franco Scoglio died while live on a TV program:




    • British actor Gareth Jones suffered a heart attack in the middle of the live TV drama play "Underground" in 1958 (back-stage between scenes). His character in the play was... supposed to die of a heart attack!



    • British actor Patrick Wymark was to be guest on an Australian TV variety show in 1970, he didn't show up. The host and one of the other guests (all of whom had worked together) joked on-air about him being passed out on the floor of his hotel room, drunk. He WAS lying on the floor of his hotel room - dead of a heart attack...



    • Actor Bill Stalker was in the tail-end (one day left) of taping his final scenes in the Aussie cop soapie "Cop Shop" when he was killed in a motorcycle accident in November 1981.



    • When "Dragnet" transferred from radio to TV in 1951, stars Jack Webb & Barton Yarborough went with it. Yarborough only appeared in two episodes, dying of a heart attack four days after completing the second episode.



    • John Cazale filmed his part in "The Deer Hunter" while dying of cancer.



    • A local radio icon (in Melbourne, Australia), Cliff "Nicky" Whitta signed off from his daily radio show one Friday in September 1956, and died of a heart attack the next day.



    • Here's weird one: an Australian TV performer named Chris Christensen died during production of the kid's series "Video Village" in 1966. in 1968, an Australian actor named Chris Christensen died during production of the local drama series "Riptide". Neither death actually occurred on-set (they died while the shows themselves were in production, but their deaths weren't connected with the programs in any way).



    • A promising young actor / comic named Lance Curtis died mid-way through production of the TV series "Dancing Daze" in 1985, after falling from a balcony at a party.



    • Legendary local rock singer-turned-TV presenter Graeme "Shirley" Strachan was killed in a helicopter accident in 2001, while a presenter on lifestyle show "Our House".



    • Singer Noel Widerburg was leader of a popular Aussie vocal group, The Delltones. They were charting well, and had just signed on as regulars in a music program called "Singalong" (appearing in the first four or so episodes) when Widerburg was killed in a car accident in July 1962.

    Here's another: Cameraman Frank Parnell was killed in December 1966 (along with his producer, and the pilot) while shooting footage of Sydney Harbour for the TV series "Breakaways", when the helicopter he was in had a tail rotor failure, crashing through the roof of a building. He kept his camera running all the way down, while a camera crew on the ground also caught it:

    The actual helicopter (VH-AHF) appears in the pilot episode of "Skippy", shot only a few weeks (at most) before the accident. In another episode of "Skippy", what appears to be the same helicopter is shown, crashing in a manner very similar to the real-life crash - and a wrecked helicopter is featured, which may be the actual wreckage!

    I couldn't read through all of these posts because I'm hormonel and it would make me too sad and start crying. (I'm such a schlep!).

    There are just so many who left us too soon. John Candy is the first to come to mind. After he died, I remember seeing Richard Lewis interviewed (who was in Wagons East with him when he died) and he told the interviewer he couldn't talk about it because it just broke his heart. Millions of hearts broke when John Candy passed.

    Yesterday I heard "Never Tear us Apart" on the radio and it reminded me of Michael Hutchence. What a shame.

    Some people don't feel he was a celebrity, but I do. Ryan Dunn, was just 34 and had a brilliant career ahead of him when he crashed his porsche and pretty much burnt to death, along with friend/passenger Zach Hartwell June of 2011. I still have a hard time with this one, so sad and senseless.

    Heather O'rourke died from an x-ray misread but she had been taking Cortizone. Is this healthy for a 12- year-old? Heather died from septic shock as a result from her intestines becoming too full; Septic had gone into all of her organs.

    A young Australian singer named Cheryl Stroud was chosen as a regular in a new TV variety show in 1969 - she did the first episode, and was killed in a car accident a few nights later on her way home from a club performance.

    A particularly sad one: young up-and-coming Aussie actor Jon Blake (being touted as "the next Mel Gibson") was on his way home from shooting the final scenes of the film "The Lighthorsemen" in 1986, when his car ran into the back of a parked vehicle. He suffered a catastrophic brain injury, and was conscious and aware, but unable to move or speak (basically could only communicate "yes" or "no" by blinking or using his thumb) until his death in 2011.

    Thanks london ! That was something I did not know. I do remember reading about Brenda and how Bixby blamed her for their son's death. The sweet dad from The Courtship Of Eddie's Father was said to be a complete asshole in real life.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    Dick Shawn was an amazing actor. He was really off-beat, but always enjoyable. He did such a great job in "The Producers," and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."
    The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

    A death hagg-y addition to the afore-mentioned death of singer Cheryl Stroud - she'd shot an acting role in a local drama series a month or so before her death; it went to air a fortnight after she died.

    Final shot in the episode is of her getting into a car and driving away. The same car she was killed in...
