Fatality: 2019

The coroner has released the results of Cameron Boyce's autopsy, and his family issued a statement: the cause of death was epilepsy.
This was news to me:
"Nearly 3.5 million people in the U.S. have epilepsy, a neurological disorder which causes seizures. About 1,000 people die every year of SUDEP -- Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy -- which is the leading cause of death related to the disorder."
Very sad...

Same here. I think we're too old.
Indeed. He was very socially aware, and did things to help others.
Gone too soon.
This is sad news.
While searching for articles, I saw this one--with a dateline of July 11, 2018. I wondered how it was even possible for a newspaper to print the wrong year. They didn't--a year ago TODAY she had a stroke.
Here's an article about her death.
RIP, Denise. Say 'hi' to Gene for me, please.

Back in 1991 I had a friend name Eric who had Epilepsy. He live in the apartment below me. One night I heard what sounded like a fight and then I thought he was with a woman.
The next day I saw him and immediately knew something was up. He went om to explain what Epilepsy was. He had a spare key to his place made for me and another friend.
Seven months after I meet him, he and another friend were heading back from a concert in Grand junction Co. He was driving when he had a seizure. The car went off the road ended up going through this farmers yard and orchard.
The other friend was thrown from the car. He recalled was looking at a tire and his rear in the middle of the orchard, turning to see Eric standing behind the wreckage calling to him and passing out.
Because of the location and time the wreck occurred and the family who own the farm being away. It wasn't till several hours later that help arrived.
Eric had been killed instantly.
His death killed our little circle of friends
Emily Hartridge, a TV and YouTube personality, has died at 35 following an e-scooter accident.
I wasn't familiar with her, but 35 is too damned young to die.
RIP, Emily.

Just think, without him, my beloved UNIX/Linux may not exist!
RIP, Professor Corbato, and thank you for your contributions to the computing world as we know it.

1960s author and prankster, Paul Krassner has died at 87.
Among many other things, Krassner named the counterculture group, the Yippies. I remember wishing I was older so I could do some of the cool stuff they were doing. (I'm older--and wiser now.)
He died in my mom's favorite place, Desert Hot Springs (near Palm Springs).
RIP Mr Krassner.

Thank you for including this death, despite the fact he wasn't a celebrity.
Just a heads-up, though: your post may be edited because we're not supposed to post an article in its entirety. (Damn those pesky copyright laws!) Better to post a link to the article along with a snippet of its content.
RIP Det Cranston--the 199th 9/11 illness-related fatality.

I hadn't even heard about David Hedison's death.
I had quite the little girl crush on him way back when.
I have this vague memory of my grandmother saying he was Armenian [like us], but had changed his name for show biz. I wonder...
ETA: This is a nice article about him, which includes an unknown-to-me tidbit: one of his daughters is married to Jodie Foster.

NASA's first Flight Director, Chris Kraft, has died at 95.
Just think of all the amazing things he was a part of.
He certainly lived a long, productive life. RIP.

If anyone deserve recognition it's people like Detective Cranston. I went to New York City back in 2003 and went and paid my respects. Something very cool and out right amazing was people would be on their phones or pda's they would get to the observation area/walk way going past that infamous pit and people would cease using their electronic devices, no one spoke as they passed. Once past it they would resume their conversation or businesses.
By the time I went the majority of the wreckage had been removed. But there were still people walking around in that pit searching for stuff, remains.

Just a few days ago I heard a statistic that reminded me of, or reinforced, the scope of the 9/11 tragedy. They said that only 40% of victims in the WTC have been positively identified. The anguish the other 60%'s families feel must be awful--no closure, nothing to bury, nowhere to go to mourn...

When I went , I was watch the people in the pit, as I was watching I observed one person who I assume was a police officer stop mid stride bend down and brush the dirt off something. The officer knelt to inspect the item then signal to the others in the pit, within in seconds there were probably two dozen people around this officer.Just a few days ago I heard a statistic that reminded me of, or reinforced, the scope of the 9/11 tragedy.

A crime scene tech took several pictures then the item was place in a evidence bag and then place in a white box. The box was escorted by several individuals to a white van with a offical new York City logo on the side. it was a very solemn event. I am assuming that they either found a bones or bones or something else a watch, bracelet
After the fact item was found several people were on their hands and knees careful inspecting the dirt. I believe that they found two more items, I left after that.
There was this incredible sense of loss about the place, even if you didn't know anything about 9/11 you would know immediately from just standing in the observation area that something incredibly tragic happened there
