Weird Celebrity Death: Vincent van Gogh

By Midnight Man, in Celebrity,

Weird Celebrity Death: Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was a major Post-Impressionist painter. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness he died at the age of 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted, or was he a murder victim? Most believe that he shot himself while standing in a wheat field about a mile from his home near Paris. Though the bullet missed his vital organs, van Gogh died 30 hours later from an infection caused by the gunshot wound. But new research suggests van Gogh may have been shot by a pair of local youths who had been bullying him. Two clues: the gun van Gogh supposedly used to shoot himself was never found, and when police asked him shortly before he died if he’d tried to kill himself, van Gogh replied “I believe so,” but then cryptically requested that no one be accused of the crime. He died July 27, 1890 at the age of 37.

Weird Celebrity Death: Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse was an English singer and songwriter best known for her deep vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, and reggae, jazz and even rhythm and blues. Although few were shocked when, she was found dead in her London home, and even though Winehouse was ultimately found with a high quantity of alcohol in her system, her family initially theorized that she died because she’d given up alcohol too quickly, ignoring her doctor’s advice to get off the booze gradually. She died July 23, 2011 at the age of 27.

Weird Celebrity Death: Bon Scott
Bon Scott was a Scottish-born Australian rock musician, whose greatest success came as the lead singer and lyricist of Australian hard rock band AC/DC from 1974 until his death, and you cand take your pick of conspiracy theories when it comes to the demise of AC/DC singer Bon Scott. The Aussie was drinking heavily at a London bar and a friend offered to let him sleep it off at his house, but being too drunk to move when they arrived, the friend left Scott in the car overnight. Only to find him dead the next day. While the authorities said Scott choked on his own vomit, rumors persist that he succumbed to a heroin overdose or that he froze to death, or even that someone manipulated the car’s exhaust pipe, poisoning him. He died February 19, 1980 at the age of 33.

Committed to a psychiatric ward in June 1996, Combs hung himself in his hospital room closet by wrapping his bed sheet around a bar that was specifically designed to break away during suicide attempts, but it strangely did not.

Weird Celebrity Death: Bob Crane

By Midnight Man, in Celebrity,

Weird Celebrity Death: Bob Crane
Bob Crane was an American actor, drummer, radio host, and disc jockey. Best-known as the star of the long-running TV series, Hogan’s Heroes, he had a decidedly kinky side. Having access to early versions of handheld videotape cameras, he recorded hundreds of sexual encounters with a bevy of women. The fun and games came to a grisly end on when he was found savagely beaten to death in an Arizona hotel room. Suspicion immediately fell on his sex filming cameraman, a friend named John Carpenter (not the famous film director), but Carpenter was later found not guilty of Crane’s killing. But whoever did it wanted to send a very personal message. The police reported that the killer ejaculated on Crane’s body after murdering him. He died June 28, 1978 at the age of 49.

Weird Celebrity Death: James Dean

By Midnight Man, in Celebrity,

Weird Celebrity Death: James Dean
James Dean was an American actor and his destiny as a cultural icon was insured by his untimely death. Always the thrill-seeker, Dean had recently purchased a Porsche 550 racecar. While driving it to a race in Salinas, California (and shortly after receiving a speeding ticket), Dean collided head-on with a car that had crossed into his lane. Dean had starred in only three movies before he died; his most famous, Rebel without a Cause, came out a month after his death and was a huge hit. Yet with the untimely deaths of his Rebel co-stars, Sal Mineo (bizarre stabbing in 1976) and Natalie Wood (bizarre drowning in 1981) many wonder if that famous movie is truly cursed. He died September 30, 1955 at the age of 24.
