iHeart Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) https://www.tmz.com/2023/10/28/friends-star-matthew-perry-dead-dies-drowning/ this is really unprocessable more info via TMZ Quote More details are surfacing about the circumstances surrounding Matthew Perry's death ... as sources tell us he actually died at his own house after some physical activity this morning. We're told Matthew came home sometime in the AM after a 2-hour round of pickleball, and that he sent his assistant out on errand shortly thereafter. We're told when the assistant returned about 2 hours later, he discovered Matthew unresponsive ... and called 911. Unclear if what Matthew was doing before his passing played any role in his death at this point -- the investigation into his death is underway.

I'm assuming most people do this because it's part of their childhood growing up and what helped shaped them even in the smallest of ways into who they are today? Damn it's been 25 years and I still get sad thinking about Chris Farley and wish that he was still alive. bigg jay and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 You're allowed to develop emotional connections to something bigger than you.... and you're allowed to mourn any way you choose, when something you're emotionally attached to disappears. I was crushed when Paul Walker and Heath Ledger passed... and yeah, Farley man...... **** that is brutal. Candy, too.

SpeedFlex27 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I somewhat agree with Goalie here about this thread. I have no idea why we need a thread about celebrities who died. Most, if not all who croaked would have no interest in any of us when alive. And it kind of a creepy subject anyway. I'd rather just have separate posts about people who died. If it was up to me, I'd close this thread. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd rather dozens of different posts covering random deaths instead of having just one on going post that gets updated with the latest? I find the thread interesting because I do not go on news sites and sometimes I find it interesting when people pass away. I hate to break it to you... but most Bombers don't care or have no interest in each of the members on this site so should we not bother creating threads talking about the Blue at all?

Seriously though, besides, it's just my opinion. I've never liked this thread but my opinion here doesn't carry that much weight so I'm not expecting anything will change.

bigg jay Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 The idea that because a public figure doesn't know each person that respects/enjoys their work so we shouldn't talk about them, is ridiculous. I mean Bob Irving has no idea who most people on the board are but I guarantee that when his time comes, it will be a sad day here (and throughout the Canadian football community) and there will be tons of discussion about his life and career. People can impact your life without ever having met you and there's nothing wrong with that all. As mentioned earlier, if this thread isn't your thing, maybe you should just ignore it and not comment on it?

Again, just my opinion & this thread is going nowhere but does every celebrity that dies make you feel sad? I'd say only about half may affect everyone enough to comment here, if that. Besides, most people are on social media & when a celebrity dies we know about it & can comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Hi Noeller. How are ya? I will say that I wish this platform allowed you to hide threads you weren't interested in. I know some other platforms that do. I just think that different people have different life experiences and feel connections to people that they've never met. Be it celebrity or not. Emotions are funny things and hard to predict what or who you will feel a connection with. Noeller and SpeedFlex27 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 it's the most Alberta thing ever to believe that your opinion is the only correct one and everyone else should believe what you believe, and if they don't they're wrong. It's "Selective Libertarianism".... "everyone should be able to live their life on their own terms.... as long as it's exactly what I believe"....... ...Also, the ability to mute certain posters is the best function on this website, and saves me every day, until someone quotes someone that I've muted. Shame. Wideleft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the thing is here & when I feel inclined then I will comment. Would I miss it if it suddenly disappeared? No. However, like I already said, I know the thing ain't going nowhere.
