CELEBS WHO SUDDENLY DIED VERY YOUNG

PAUL WALKER

This super handsome, super talented, and super nice actor

left the earth way too soon when he was in a car accident.

Best known for his role in The Fast and the Furious franchise,

he was killed amidst the filming of the latest movie.

Paul was just 40 years old.

CORY MONTEITH

The star and heart of the Glee cast passed away while the show

was between filming the fourth and fifth season of the hit show.

When he was younger, Monteith battled his demons of drug

addiction, but seemed to have beat them in the first few seasons.

As the show (and Monteith’s) popularity waned, he fell back into a

downward spiral and eventually overdosed at just 31.

HEATH LEDGER

This rising star and 90’s heart throb passed away at age 28

from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Heath died

just before The Dark Knight was released to theatres. In his

starring role as the Joker, Heath won a posthumous Oscar

for Best Supporting Actor.

BRITTANY MURPHY

Brittany enjoyed fame from movies such as Clueless,

Little Black Book, and Uptown Girls. She had a brilliant

career ahead of her when she died at a young age from

complications of anaemia and pneumonia.

JIM MORRISON

Fans adored and worshipped this popular rock idol and

“Doors” singer, which made it so much harder when he

passed away. It is believed that he died at age 27 from a 

heart attack, which may have been brought on by a

possible drug overdose. Can you imagine what the

music industry would be like if he hadn’t?

KURT COBAIN

Kurt Cobain and Nirvana made music history as one of the

greatest music groups ever, and we were just starting to

scratch the surface of his talent when we lost him in the

early 90’s. Although his death at age 27 is listed as a suicide,

many people have wondered if foul play was involved,

including his wife Courtney Love.

JOHN RITTER

Though he was older than many on the list, John was still

making some of his best work on Ten Rules for Dating My

Teenage Daughter. While you may have known him as Jack

on Three’s Company, his work shone and he is responsible

for some of the funniest moments on TV.

WHITNEY HOUSTON

She was one of the greatest singers of all time.

In her later years, Whitney struggled with addiction and

died at age 48; she drowned in a hotel bathtub from an

apparent drug overdose. Sad as it was, it is even sadder

that her daughter is currently on hospice care for

a similar situation.
