Death is part of life like the shadow is part of the light or the sun is part of the moon. Although having to say goodbye to a loved one, friend, family member or partner may be one of the hardest and worst things, it is also unavoidable throughout a lifetime. We are all only on this planet for a limited time – and that also applies to the stars and starlets.
Causes of death among celebrities
In 2024, some celebrities have already had to cope with the loss of their favorite people. Some of them were far too young to die, others fell asleep peacefully in old age. One thing is certain, however: life in the public eye and the pressure that comes with it are both a blessing and a curse – and many a person has broken down because of it. Unfortunately, for celebrities, mental illness, substance abuse and similar problems are a possible cause of premature death. The deaths of young stars in particular are often linked to the abuse of medication.
These celebrities are already gone
Some big names have already left the stage of life in 2024. Franz Beckenbauer passed away at the age of 78. He made history as one of football’s most important figures and one of the best footballers of all time. Fans all over the world are not just mourning the former Bayern coach. A death that is also moving is that of Rocky legend Carl Weathers. According to media reports, the actor and director fell asleep peacefully at the age of 76.
