Just as things were looking bleak with the passing of people like David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali, Alan Rickman, George Michael, and countless others; this has happended :\'(

I am at lost beyond words, especially since I'm a huge Star Wars fan. What's ironic is that I just saw Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a couple of nights ago, in the ending credits theirs a CGI created model of Princess Leia announcing a 'New Hope' due to the knowledge they now had possessed of the death star.

Seriously? Screw this year! :(

Seriously? Screw this year! :(


I feel the same way Ripley.  :(

I was always hoping to see her in that honey-bun hair-do just one more time.

So sad, she helped to change the face of modern day science fiction movies.

Here's a pic of Carrie with Michael Jackson.

Her mother outlived both her and her father.

Wow, I did not know that!  :\'(

I often wonder if the stress of her fighting her bipolar and her addiction problems might have taken a toll on her.  :(

In 2013, Debbie Reynolds appeared as Frances Liberace, the mother of Liberace in "Behind the Candelabra".

Oh yeah, I want to see that film! Sounds like it was critically acclaimed.

Carrie Fisher will always be known as Princess Leia, first!

Yeah. Eddie Fisher died in 2010.  According to Wikipedia he had complications from hip surgery.

As I said in the other thread, my heart goes out to Debbie Reynolds. No parent should have to bury their kids.

Yes.

2016 isn't over yet, it's really trying its best to close out the year on a strong note. Add Debbie Reynolds to the list now. She was a huge part of my childhood on the Halloweentown movies  :\'(

What list? 

So sad, she helped to change the face of modern day science fiction movies.

:\'(

Yes... and she will be terribly missed. :\'(

What list?


List of famous people who passed away.

What list?

The family of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher are reportedly planning a joint memorial service.

The amount of celebrity deaths this year reminds me of 2009 and the amount of celebrity deaths that  occurred back then.  :-[

Family and friends of actresses Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher have paid their respects to the mother and daughter at a private memorial service. Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow and Meg Ryan were among the guests at the ceremony at the Los Angeles home where Fisher lived next door to her mother. Star Wars creator George Lucas and British actors Stephen Fry and Eric Idle were also in attendance.

Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher died from sleep apnoea and "other factors", the Los Angeles County coroner says. Her death certificate said in January that the 60-year-old, best known for her role as Princess Leia, had suffered a cardiac arrest. But in a statement the LA coroner said the exact cause was unknown. Sleep apnoea is a common condition in which a person stops breathing during sleep, either for a few seconds or minutes. As well as listing sleep apnoea as a cause of death, the coroner's statement cited other factors, including heart disease and drug use. Her manner of death would be listed as undetermined, it said. Fisher had been on tour promoting her book The Princess Diarist when she was taken ill on a flight from London to Los Angeles on 23 December. She never regained consciousness and died on 27 December at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre. Her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, died the following day.

Could have easily been natural causes?

Yep. I wonder if the detailed report mentions what sort of hear disease or what specific drugs were considered significant enough to have been mentioned in the report, though?

In the UK there is a series of television programs that looks into famous celebrity autopsies by leading doctors. I look forward to seeing the one on Carrie Fisher. I am trying to find it there is a dedicated website.

The corroner said that she had sleep apnea which would explain why she had a cardiac episode?

Well TMZ has answered that question.

Apparently the post mortem testing revealed the presence of cocaine, codeine, morphine, oxy, xanax, and ecstasy in Carrie's system. Although I suppose that the Xanax could have been prescription as well as the oxy.  :-\\. Taking all that stuff can't be good for heart health.

I don't think it was just the legal narcotics that killed her.  The illegal stuff might have taken a toll on her heart too.
