She turns 27 this year. A good age for celebrity deaths.

But didn't all those others have talent?

Yeah, I was going to add that yesterday but was too lazy to edit my post. She doesn't have enough talent to die young. I guess we will have to wait a bit longer.

Stan the Man... that sucks. St Louis is such a baseball town, and he's done so much for the city. RIP Stan.

I could have sworn I remember her dying ten years ago, so this is kind of weird to me.

Ann Landers died like 10 years ago, so maybe that's what you were thinking of.

Yeah, Ann Landers was her twin sister.

Ex-NYC Mayor and former host of The People's Court Ed Koch is dead from congestive heart failure at 88.

I will never forget when my PE teacher turned up in an episode of The People's Court one day and got yelled at hardcore by Koch. I managed to get it recorded on VHS and had the tape circulating at school. The day after the show aired, me and some friends gave the PE teacher such a hard time and asked if he was going to pay back the money he owed to his father-in-law. Laughing

Ed Koch was awesome for that.

Someone probably shook him until his life force disappeared.

It's possible but we can't know for sure because the details are so sketchy.
