Iconic Star Wars Actress Carrie Fisher Dies at 60

Not to sound uncaring, as I am sure it will sound to some. This is horrible news but its also horrible news to hear that anyone has died young or died at all. She had a drug addiction and so was not really in perfect health, regardless of issues she has had in her life.

Last time i checked, death can come at any time, regardless of health. The health of people dying is not the issue here, never was.

Its just sad when famous people die because they have all touched our lives in some way or another. And they all leave something behind for us to still enjoy. Regardless of health, they all worked hard.

Oh well....

I guess 2016 still wasn't done with us...... what a rape of a year.

Carries mom dies

Epically sad, mother and daughter a day after each other....Both Amazing if not a little odd at times people....

Of course it's horrible when anyone dies before their time...

But when you don't know, or somehow relate to that person, it has little effect outside of "Oh, that's terrible."

Carrie Fisher was part of my early and late adolescence. Not just as Princess Leia, but other rolls in movies that hold special places in my memories. So her untimely death effects me.

Thoughts and well wishes go out to the family....who, if I was them, would be in hiding until 2017...

Geezus.

Sad to lose such a great woman and epic figure in the star wars saga.

Though that may seem lovely to others here to hear to put it that way, it was the point that is always the case in this world. Yes the obvious that death can hit us all is true however it normally comes quicker to those that use substance abuse.

Also. To say they touched our lives in some way, well so did the men and women that work in laboratories to create cures for us all have touched our lives, do they get credit when they die?

Being an actor isn't working hard, most actors would tell you this. It is the only initial getting noticed that is hard.

Carie's mother died the very net day.

Debbie Reynolds - Debbie Reynolds dies, one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher.

And your point in mentioning this in a thread meant to pay respect to a specific individual, is, what, precisely?

Perhaps you should go start a thread in philosophy and metaphysics.

first of all....life span on planet earth used to be 40, not so long ago. So living to 60 or 80 is a great life

Tributes being held for her:
Seattle Space Needle

"As part of tonight’s widespread Carrie Fisher Lightsaber Vigil, Space Needle will beam a tribute to a galaxy far far way. The Space Needle will light its Legacy Lights between 7-8 p.m."

Other areas:

In Austin and Omaha, at Disneyland and a Denver museum, vigils honor Princess Leia.

I was in love with that woman when I was a very young teenager
What a very very sad shame.
Rest in peace

Well, the autopsy has revealed:

Carrie Fisher's autopsy report shows the actress had coc aine in her system when she fell ill on a plane last year, but investigators could not determine what impact the coc aine and other drugs found in her system had on her death.

. . .

It also found traces of heroin and MDMA, which is also known as ecstasy, but that they could not determine when Fisher had taken those drugs.

Wow.
