witchkitten 309 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 I don't think the next year or the next four years for that matter are going to be any better in terms of celebrity deaths or otherwise. It's mostly the baby boomers who are getting older now. While we expect people to live into their seventies based on averages and such, you start seeing an increase in deaths in the fifties and sixties at least from my experience. That's when people start to succumb to heart related issues and cancer, which is what I think we've been seeing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxiemom 623 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 I agree that the next couple of years are going to be rough due to the aging of the boomers. I do wonder if many of the heart related issues we've been seeing among the celebrity set are related to years of hard living finally coming home to roost. After all, the phrase "party like rock stars" didn't come out of thin air. I also hope that the Grim Reaper decides to take a breather in 2017. Leave Betty White alone!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 I brought up the age thing (there were more "celebs" starting in the 70s & 80s due to media proliferation, as well as the fact that as a GenXer the people who are dying now are the ones I'm most familiar with due to my own age) First time I brought that up on FB (over the summer?) I was shot down. I'm sticking to my demography lessons here, though....And agreeing the next few years aren't going to be different...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
