Is also dead.

That was unexpected.

65. That's young. No news on if he was sick or whatever.

Most unsettling. I had not heard of him being sick, nor having some sort of chronic condition. He was found by police before 7am, though "no foul play is suspected."

Weird and sad.

Looks to be a stroke.

I'm glad it wasn't something odd, but still sad.

I call an otherwise seemingly healthy 65 year old having a devastating stroke “something odd.” And it’s very sad.

Halfway healthy.

IIUC, he had some minor strokes a few months back, and in the process of recuperating, had caught a really bad flu.

I was trying to be delicate, but by odd I meant a suicide, accidental death by magic trick, OD, etc. When celebrities die without a public illness etc, especially celebritites who aren't so famous anymore... well like I said.

For Harry, death by magic trick would have been almost appropriate.

I have to apologize for jumping in on that, but I spend much of my time at work treating people who have had strokes. Strokes shouldn’t “just happen” - but they do seem to come out of the blue for a lot of people. That’s when you find out that they were not watching their blood sugars, or their blood pressure, or they still smoke like chimneys while showing down on ultra fatty diets, etc..
