    Owen Hart...I remember watching Wrestlemania when that happened. They came back from ads and everyone was bawlin!

    It didn't happen at Wrestlemania. It was an event called Over the Edge,a month or 2 after Wrestlemania, I think he was meant to fight The Godfather (the guy who was the pimp and had Hoes)
    Remember watching it live on Sky and when they cut back to it for the next match there was blood all over the Mat.

    One that really got to me was "The Godfather of Soul" James Brown. Seen him in the Olympia a month or 2 before he died and shook his hand and was totally miserable that Xmas morning when i heard he had passed.

    It can be a bit strange watching Bad Santa during the scenes with John and Bernie Mac. Both gone too early.

    Amy Winehouse. Really shocked me, never expected her to die like.

    Whitney Houston too, think its because drugs are rarely portrayed as fatal. although It just makes me think Rihanna is gonna go the same way.

    Heath Ledger - far too sad.

    Irish boxer Darren Sutherland was very shocking. It may not be a celebrity but an Irish Olympic hero a year previously .Starting a professional career in boxing .The future seemed bright and he seemed like the next big thing in Irish boxing and Irish sport but unfortunately he didnt work out that way.

    EDIT: didnt see the post above

    Gary Speed
    John Lennon
    Elvis
    Diana
    Michael Jackson

    I can remember where I was when I heard of each. Each tragic in their own way.

    Was watching the 24hrs of le mans last weekend when there was a really bad crash at the start and heard afterwards the driver had been killed. It gave me a bit of a shock thinking I had seen someone killed live on tv.

    RIP Alan Simonsen.

    None, I didn't know any celebrity who died or any of their friends or family, and none that I know of died in a shocking event like a bomb where many many people were killed, so I really don't see how I could ever have been shocked by the death of any celeb.

    One that got me was Michael Clarke Duncan, very sad to hear it because he seemed like a really good person and i had no idea how ill he was before he passed

    I can remember the time and place when I heard Diana died, while more strangely I can vividly remember when I heard John Candy died

    So young :(

    So, despite her being diagnosed with terminal cancer about 5 or 6 weeks before her death, you still found it shocking that she died? Do you even know what terminal means?

    She did a pretty good job of whóring herself off to the media over her terminal cancer, so I'm actually baffled by your comment.
