    Kurt Cobain, Gary Speed and Princess Diana probably would be mine. I can still see the breaking news on Sky in the early hours covering the death of Diana, it all seemed a bit surreal.

    And although she led a drug fused lifestyle Amy Winehouse stands out too.

    Chris benoit, wwe pro wrestler. Killed his wife and child and then himself. Couldn't believe it.

    James gandolfini seemed very close to home too for some reason.

    Dimebag Darrell abbot from pantera, shot dead on stage is another.

    Gary speed was a shocker alright because he was on telly earlier that day and everybody that worked with him said he was happy and making plans. Suicide is a terrible thing!!

    After that Gerry Ryan . I was listening to him day before , still can't believe he's dead, so sad .

    Thought both of these would be amongst the least shocking. If Daniel O Donnell was killed in a drive by shooting I'd be shocked. Look up tupac on wiki and there's a big list about various shooting incidents.

    David Attenborough and Sir Alex Ferguson when it finally happens :eek:

    Have to say Welsh Footballer/Manager Gary Speed was quite a shock.

    I think Heath Ledger was pretty shocking given he didn't seem to lead all that crazy a lifestyle, seemed fairly well-adjusted and was establishing himself as a pretty great actor. Sad to see that potential snuffed out.

    I know many say Amy Winehouse wasn't surprising, but for some reason I felt like she'd make it rather than have a clichéd rock star's death. Another case of a wasted talent.

    James Gandolfini's death has really shocked and upset me more than most though. Even just through the character of Tony Soprano he made such a huge impact and really made that show what it was, and it was and remains my favourite TV show.
