I remember when the Drowning Pool frontman died, and instead of the obligatory RIPs and "that sucks, man" messages on the internet, he death began a deluge of tasteless posts because of the irony of the group's biggest hit, "Bodies". I don't think I saw one serious post about his death.

Celebrities....not world leaders or heads of state.
Definition of celebrity = "a famous or well-known person." I'd say Hitler and Hussein were both famous or well-known. And I'd say that they got very little sympathy when they died, yet were very much in the public eye at the time of their deaths.
Well what did you expect? All his fans and casual radio listening rejects were young ignorant rednecks.
They hate themselves and would in a heart beat jump on any bandwagon where they can trash someone that they can associate with that just recently died.

I was going off the popular usage of the word "celebrity" (as many people do) in today's culture and not the dictionary definition. The dictionary also says a "stalker" is traditionally a game hunter, but we all know how the word is used in today's culture.

Fair enough. But I have always thought of any famous person as being a celebrity, since famous people are, well, celebrities. Doesn't matter why they're famous.
Mitch Hedberg and every other person that died of drugs overdoses or things like drunk driving. they should have known better.iamnessie
Conversely, when Heath Ledger died of an overdose, he almost immediately became canonized as a saint on the Internet. Anyone who tried to attack his drug use or make some kind of "Brokeback Mountain" reference was immediately bumrushed.

That was because according to the NYPD he died of an accidental overdose of prescriptive medicine, and also he is the joker!

Easy for you to say.
No, it's true. If you're going to use drugs, you need to realize they're dangerous and manage your usage properly. YOU are in control of your actions, and YOU are responsible for the consequences. No sympathy from me if you die as a result. Willfully ingesting potentially fatal material for a short-lived thrill has never struck me as a particularly bright thing to do.

You have to admit though, it was kind of ironic how he drowned in a pool of his own vomit after having a massive heart attack. That's crazy.
I imagine it would of been Jesus at the time of his death. Apollo5000
No, I would think that his death would have garnered a great deal of sympathy. If he didn't have a great number of followers, he wouldn't have been crucified in the first place.
Anna Nicole Smith. Many disrespectful things were said, not even counting this forum.Hungry_bunny
wait umm, what??? she died??? >_____>

i never really feel "pitty" for someone who's led a MUCH more luxurious and opportune filled life then I most likely ever will. I very much doubt any celeberity would care if YOU died.
Layne Staley?! He was an amazing vocalist, are you kidding me?
what I love lanye stanley, I must have misunderstood the topic. I thought we were discussing who got the least sympathetic death. Not who deserves no sympathy.
well i could have cared less when steve irwin died...i'm going to be flamed for this but the idiot shoulden't have been screwing around the stingrays ass in the first place.

He still had the majority of the Roman empire against him.
Well, recently, that person from Harry Potter died. I suppose he wasnt really a celebrity, but i didnt see much sympathy. Most people just said they wished it was the guy that played Harry :lol:

Do you mean Richard Harris? If so, he most certainly was a celebrity, and well liked at that.
Doesn't matter how the person died, he's a person and we should feel sorry for their death, even if they are Anna Nicole Smith. I do feel sorry for that slut, but its good that Greta Van Susturne of FOX news isn't reporting on her anymore.
