[I have found that anytime they say ‘died suddenly’ it is usually a drug overdose. Happened recently to my daughter’s half sister. It was posted...she died suddenly. I asked what happened to XXXXXX? I already knew the answer.]

Tragic. They always leave a massive hole in the lives of their loved ones.

I was confused by John Rhys-Davies, actor who played Gimli in LOTR. How/if related to the recently deceased unknown.

According to Google, no relation. Apparently "Rhys-Davies" is a common Welsh last name.

Yea, when they say “peacefully” that means he was high. Sepsis will kill you in two days but it is not “peaceful.” And, usually someone is blaming a hospital for not treating it fast enough.

“Died Suddenly.” This syndrome will be with us for a long time.

Yeah, Marilyn Monroe died at the same situation. And many have after how many did before. drugs are terrible thing.

Owain passed suddenly, naturally, and peacefully.

And fully vaxxed for Covid?

[Getready]

Also suicide.
But actors and actresses always have to hide their ailments/medical issues. If producers know how sick they are, they wouldn’t be hired. Plus, it’s harder for viewers to watch someone act if they know the actor/actress is suffering. Takes away from the performance, adds another drama.

I don’t want to say it was the vaxx but....

“Yeah, Marilyn Monroe died at the same situation. “

She died suddenly after saying “the news of my death has been greatly exagerated by the FBI and JFK”.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It was definitely a 1990s show. How would this kid even be a known person to talk about anyway?

[Scarlett156]

Haha, whoops. Thanks, everyone, for correcting me! *feels smug for not knowing they remade “twin peaks”*

"Died Suddenly" is like Teens. Died Suddenly almost always means died of vaxx complications. Teen or teens is used when it is considered appropriate to mask the racial composition of a group or single.
Deflection by euphemism.
