At the risk of sounding morbid, exactly what celebrities have died this year? Yes, I want a list. Itemized by month, if you want.

Cause when I hear of a celebrity passing, I generally react two ways. Either I didn’t know they were so old. Or I didn’t even know they were still alive. Seriously.

Burt Reynolds was born in 1936. He was middle aged by the 80’s. And Btw, did Charles Manson die this year or was that last? I honestly just don’t recall.

Thank you for keeping it civil:).

Go read through the **Death Pool** thread. Should pretty much cover it, and already in chronological order.
