This has got to be related to drugs, only 21, that "fentanyl". If it is fentanyl, how can people be doing it (unless heavily addicted), when it is known to be so dangerous? :

Well, the CBC article doesn't mention drugs, but this LA Times article alludes to a seizure:

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2019-12-08/juice-wrld-rapper-seizure-obituary

Seizures could result from things unrelated to drugs.  I guess no one will know anything for sure until and unless there is an autopsy.   :shrug:

Donald B. Marron, Financier, Art Collector and Philanthropist, Dies at 85
WorldDaily   December 8, 2019

Recently, he opened his own private gallery in Midtown Manhattan, which he filled with major works from his own collection. He had no interest in making it public, however, and enjoyed time spent among the works on his own or with friends.

He developed personal relationships with the artists he collected, like Brice Marden, Ed Ruscha and Mark Grotjahn. He brought his grown son with him to auctions and was constantly on the lookout for new pieces, employing a personal art adviser, Matthew Armstrong, to help him with the scouting.

Mr. Marron was also a philanthropist and active in government and public policy. In addition to being a trustee of New York University, he was a member of the Board of Overseers and Managers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and a director of the Partnership for New York City, and also was involved with the Coalition for the Homeless, according to the New York University biography.

René Auberjonois, 'Star Trek' and 'Benson' Actor, Dies at 79
By Associated Press, via The Hollywood Reporter

René Auberjonois, a prolific actor best known for his roles on the television shows Benson and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and his part in the 1970 film M*A*S*H playing Father Mulcahy, has died. He was 79.

The actor died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles of metastatic lung cancer, his son Remy Auberjonois told The Associated Press.

René Auberjonois worked constantly as a character actor in several golden ages, from the dynamic theater of the 1960s to the cinema renaissance of the 1970s to the prime period of network television in the 1980s and '90s — and each generation knew him for something different.

RIP Odo.



(Though his tangles with William Shatner's Denny Crane on Boston Legal were priceless, too . . .)

UPDATE on the late, great Juice WRLD:
Quote
REVEALED: Juice Wrld died after 'swallowing Percocet painkillers to HIDE them from cops' after his private jet pilot phoned Chicago police to tell them the rapper was flying with 70 pounds of marijuana, hand guns and armor-piercing bullets

*   Officers and agents had been waiting inside the Atlantic Aviation hangar for the 21-year-old’s jet to arrive at from Los Angeles at 1:30am on Sunday morning
*    As officers began sifting through a number of the suitcases on board, the rapper - real name Jarad Higgins -  began ‘convulsing [and] going into a seizure’
*    An agent is then said to have administered two doses of Narcan, an emergency treatment used when an opioid overdose is suspected
*    Members of Higgins’ entourage said the ‘Lucid Dreams’ star had taken ‘several unknown pills’ moments before falling ill, TMZ reported
*    A search of luggage aboard the jet yielded 41 ‘vacuum-sealed’ bags - or 70 pounds - of marijuana and six bottles of prescription codeine cough syrup
*    Investigators also confirmed that two 9mm pistols, a .40-caliber pistol, a high-capacity ammunition magazine and metal-piercing bullets were also found
*    Higgins' two security guards were arrested at the scene for firearms possession

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Pete Frates
ALS patient who inspired the Ice Bucket Challenge dies at 34

Frates, a minor league baseball player, was diagnosed with amyotropic lateral sclerosis in 2012 after first experiencing symptoms during a game the year prior.

In 2014, Frates picked up on a small challenge that several spouses of ALS patients had been taking up: dumping a bucket of ice-cold water on their heads, or donating to the ALS foundation. With Frates promoting the challenge, it soon went viral, raising $220 million for the foundation.

Frates died December 9 from complications of ALS.

@sneakypete

Seems in that world there is a need to have and maintain "street cred."  These performers can't give up the gangsta life once they make it.  They have to always be involved in something illegal. 

You're right.  It's stupid.  This young kid was on the verge of being really big as a rapper.  He would have all the money in the world and wouldn't need to risk his life like this.  He blew it.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

I think it is more often than "sometimes". Nothing new about it,either. Give some immature kid/young adult access to bags of cash,hordes of people kissing his ass,and everybody telling him or her there are no limits for them,and what do you expect if the kid isn't lucky enough to have a close family and friends willing to slap him back into line?

The kids end up going from playing a role for publicity,to living the role because they don't know any better and there is no one around willing to stop them.

'Alice' star Philip McKeon, brother of actress Nancy McKeon, dies at 55
By Raechal Shewfelt
Yahoo! Entertainment

Quote
Philip McKeon, known for his work as a child actor on Alice, has died at the age of 55.

McKeon played Tommy Hyatt, the son of the main character, Alice Hyatt, on the sitcom adaptation of the 1974 movie Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. Alice aired on CBS from 1976 to 1985, beginning when McKeon was just 12. He also appeared on TV shows The Love Boat, Fantasy Island and CHiPs, before he quit acting in the early ‘90s.

McKeon died Tuesday in Texas of a longtime illness, family spokesperson Jeff Ballard told the Associated Press. Ballard said the family was withholding further details.

“We are all beyond heartbroken and devastated over Phil’s passing,” Ballard said in a statement. “His wonderful sense of humor, kindness and loyalty will be remembered by all who crossed his path in life" . . .

RIP.
