The death of which famous person upset you most?

I've never really been upset by the death of a famous person (because I don't know them personally), but the one bad one for me was Norman Borlaug. Inventor of high-yield, disease-resistant wheat varieties, saved (best estimate) roughly 1 billion people from the horror of starvation to death.

The general public never really noticed when he died in 2009, everyone was thinking about Jade Goody.

Natasha Richardson's death really upset me, mainly because it was preventable. I loved her for years, still love to watch some of her films. Never Maid in Manhattan though, that was just bad. I'll stick with Blow Dry, Nell and The Parent Trap, thank you v much. Anyway, I still get a pang whenever I see Liam Neeson on anything. Particularly in Love Actually. Wonder if that's because his wife died in that too.

Her death was tragic indeed, I wonder though did she have an undiagnosed pre existing condition which was triggered by her fall. It's unusual to sustain a fatal head injury in such a way as she did on the beginner slopes. If she did have something it was coming down the line anyway.

Maybe not now, I never heard any details of the autopsy after.

Lady Diana was very upsetting for me. It was horrible the way she was chased all to get some photos.

Patrick swayze, Michael Jackson lady diana and when Eric claptons son died their deaths saddened me

I think his kids will have a more normal life now. He kept them isolated from the world and had them covered up on the rare occasion they got out in public. He was a strange guy with a lot of unanswered questions about his life.

And that is why it was a good thing he made them wore masks. You think they were only in public rarely where as in fact they went out in public not wearing a mask and not having crowds/papparazzi invading their privacy.

"When we went out without him, we wouldn’t be recognized,” she explained. “He told us that when he was younger, he didn’t really have a childhood. He would always be stuck in the studio singing while the kids were out playing. He wanted us to have that … we had a normal childhood.”http://www.webpronews.com/paris-jackson-opens-up-about-being-bullied-2012-06

Ain't happened yet, but I'm sure I will be when Ali kicks the bucket! An icon in the true sense of the world.

Robert Enke. Read his book and you'l understand

strangely enough, River Phoenix.

Brian Lenihan. He continued to work and do his best despite his illness.
I felt quite saddened by his death.
