note: this wasn't meant to be bitchy, but it just seems whenever theres an influx of celebrity deaths someone has to raise the issue of "what is going on??" when the reality is nothing has changed..people are always dying.

Everyone knows that. The thing that I think is shocking a lot of us is the relative youth health of some of these people. With the exception of Johnny Cash, most of the people were young and
appeared to be in great health. Even George Plimpton was 76, but didn't appear to be ill at the time of his death, and Robert Palmer and John Ritter were younger than my parents. Even looking in the obituaries, you rarely see more than 1 or 2 people under 60, let alone 55.
We all know the reality hasn't changed. Just seeing a rash of celebrities, assumingly with access to the best healthcare, dropping dead at a young age is a little disarming. If all of these people were in their 80s and 90s, it wouldn't be shocking.
