Notable/Celebrity Deaths | Nobuyo Ōyama (90)

[Mr EliteL]

I haven't but darn RIP. I did watch a few of the movies he was a part in and they were enjoyable those being early Ghostbusters, Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Junior, possibly one of the other Bill Murray films, which I didn't realise he was the director for as he has had many with both Murray, Arnold and DeVito so those three must've liked him at the helm.

Been waiting for this one since this morning to happen:

Never watched the guy since he stopped being active before I got into wrestling but I at least know he had a big impact on the business. And even then, he didn't even make it to 65.

[Mr EliteL]

I didn't know he got inducted twice, I take it as Scott Hall and Razor Ramon as I know he wrestled under both names. Went a bit early but it seemed like he was poorly if he passed at 63, or something caught up with him perhaps. OK, I'll look...oh damn a fall then three heart attacks, yikes. RIP. Ah, also know he was inducted as a singles competitor then nWo was after, so that was the second time.

The man would've been dead years ago if not for Diamond Dallas Page. That guy helped Scott Hall overcome his addictions and turn his life around and without that Hall would've likely died of an OD and gone out as a train wreck of a person instead of being able to redeem himself and go out remembered as the guy he was before he fell into that pit.

This one's quite unfortunate...

Dude was only 50 as well. The most recent report says he had ten different substances detected in his system, but that doesn't mean those had anything to do with killing him since apparently there are medications that can contain those substances in detectable amounts but without being fatal (obviously).

So, Gilbert Gottfried died yesterday. I've been waiting to say something, but I guess it flew a bit under the radar. He was 67. His cause of death was basically heart failure (ventricular tachycardia), exacerbated by a form of muscular dystrophy.

I heard about his passing but kept forgetting to share it here. I knew him by name, but didn't really know anything he did until I read up, and the only role I really recognize him for is Iago the Parrot.

I did see this video on him too yesterday, and I think everyone should watch it.

[Mr EliteL]

Aw noo, well I only knew him as Iago too. That video was great, good to remember him by, that funny voice. RIP

So unfortunate and sudden. I've been hearing his voice every day since August (he was still actively on Cameo, and someone commissioned him to do soundbites that a streamer I watch uses for sub alerts). He lives on forever in his works.

Oh, so this is how people get those videos and stuff of celebrities doing custom messages to people. I always just thought people were somehow getting lucky with reaching out to them on social media and having their request obliged. XD

[ShiraNoMai]

Naw, pay people to use their crafts, man. Can't be begging for artists for free art.

Yu-Gi-Oh creator Kazuki Takahashi has passed away at age 60 from what seem to be a diving accident.

I was a fan of the original anime and the card game it sad to see that this happened. He apparently was still involved with supervising the series.

[Mr EliteL]

Wow, 60. Still an early age to go so suddenly like that, may he rest in peace.

[Moonface]

From the sounds of it he was diving alone, although I can't imagine what would cause him to drown since he wouldn't dive deep with that type of gear on. I'm personally leaning towards something happening to him in the water like a heart attack or something rather than he just drowned. It's sad to see him pass so young, and although no cause of death is a good one I'm hoping it turns out to be something that wasn't preventable had he been with someone else.
