"He's dead, Jim" - The 20XX Death Thread

Matthew Perry - seems logical that he would be the first to go of the Friends Cast.

I am fully amazed he was ONLY 83. He looks like he's knocking on 50 in the original 1976 flick...

Burt Young dies at age 83.

No, she peaked in Dirty Harry.

Can we just agree that she had a couple of memorable peaks?

One of the few redsocks that I have any respect for.

This may be a bridge too far for a fan of the evil empire, but it is a really touching tribute to Wakefield. It doesn't even gloat about 2004.

My first crush as a pre-teen. She confirmed my heterosexuality early on. Not the most talented actress, but she had at least a couple of amazing traits that captivated me.

Well said.

Suzanne Somers, 77, presumably of recurrent breast cancer. Had quite the post Three’s Company career, of which I couldn’t have cared less.

Tim Wakefield, 57, of brain cancer. Won 200 games throwing nothing but a knuckleball. Gave a walk off home run to Aaron effing Boone in the 2003 playoffs, but redeemed himself next year with the amazing comeback. Played till he was 45. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

The booze in the blender did not render a frozen concoction that helped him hold on.

Have we ruled out that he might have been poisoned? I seem to remember him being involve with some drunken and seamy behavior with a certain Mexican cutie.

We can work that in there. He blew out his flip flop, tore a ligament, went to the doc and that’s how the cancer was found.
