Wiki category: Murdered entertainers.
Hey, thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it!
Holy shit. I just found out that Judith Barsi, who voiced Ducky in one of my favorite animated movies of all time, The Land Before Time, was murdered. She was only 10.
Does it count if someone became a celebrity after their death?
JonBenet Ramsey. Wow, she’d have just recently turned 18 if she hadn’t been murdered.
William Shatner. Oh! Sorry, not yet.
Hey, I just thought of Bob Crane.
Soon. Very soon.
I wonder how much overlap there will be between this thread and the Complete-Bastard Celebrities one.
Hm. It says they re-opened the investigation into the murder of Peter Ivers.
So now it’s legal to have sex with her body?
Not a U.S. celebrity, but Jill Dando would certainly count.
I don’t know about esoteric, but Dr. Rieux mentioned both of them in post #9.
Findadeath has stories on most of these, and tons of other celebrity deaths. Morbid for certain, but exceedingly entertaining if you’re interested in this stuff.
Where’s NHL hockey star Ace Bailey on that list?
According to rumor,** Johnny Thunders**’ demise was indirectly caused by two guys who tried to rob him by slipping him a big hit of acid on the sly; he realized he’d been dosed, and then overdosed while attempting to bring himself down with methadone – I’d say that was murder, or manslaughter at very least, if it’s true.
Ted Healy, the comedian who founded the 3 Stooges, may or may not have been beaten to death outside an LA nightclub in 1937.
Nancy Spungen. Sort of a celebrity. She was only famous for being Sid Vicious’s girlfriend, but look where that got her.
There is the theory out there that she wasn’t killed by Sid, but by Rockets Redglare, character actor, comedian, drug dealer, all around low-life.
HELLO? Bob Crane, people.
Well, that’s what happens when I try to post bleary-eyed late at night. But how about Bob Crane? Been mentioned yet?
Half of the rap artists at Death Row Records. The other half did it.
And Bob Crane.
Wrong category. He’d be in famous people who murdered their wives and got away with it, along with OJ and Robert Blake.
