Celebrity death Pool Time

[Matty]

This is borderline driving me mad. Condolences are pouring out and the CBC has installed a memorial in their lobby, yet no one will say what happened and there is not a single word from widow Steven.

I had that thought today. He suffered from insomnia, so maybe an Ambien-induced sleepwalk.

 

[betplom]

Now, what are the chances he wore a rug?

I mean look at that hair. Dude was 49.

I'm factoring in the fact he was a flaming homo.

I think I predicted Ric Flair in this thread a while back... Picked the wrong wrestlers...

Story of your life.

You should not be proud for picking the next celebrity to drop dead.

 

[Matty]

Yes you should. It's a skill.

 

[roguejuror]

one of my original picks died about a year later and i didn't find out until a couple months ago

 

[Badnina]

I must admit that I felt guilty when I picked JoePa and he died a month later.

No mention of Frank Gifford? On a sports (?) forum.

Frank Gifford.

All dead 'n stuff.

I used to kind of like him. He was a guy who would call a game and you wouldn't remember remember he was there. That's a compliment. He didn't say a lot of stupid stuff that made me think, "Who is this assmobile?" He just said relevant stuff in a non-intrusive way.

That was before I knew who Kathy Lee was. She made things weird.

 

[roguejuror]

Was there an official announcement to what happened to Chris?

Nothing official, which means there was no foul play or any criminality in his death and the police won't say anything as its a private matter.


From the Toronto Star today:

Hyndman was found without vital signs Aug. 3 near the intersection of Queen St. E. and Broadview Ave. He was 49.


His mom believes Hyndman was sleep-walking when he fell to his death, just outside the home he shared with Steven Sabados, his husband and TV co-host.

Long-time coach of the Islanders, including that early 80's run, one of the greatest dynasties I ever saw in any sport - Al Arbour.

RIP.

 

[Tron]

 

[Blitty]

RIP AL

 

[Mudcat]

Hall of Famer of course. Omitted that detail.

HOFer

 

[Saulty]

RIP Ashley Madison CEO. I know he is not dead yet but he will either commit suicide or be a hit victim soon.
