Default Carrie Fisher suffers massive heart attack on an airplane - Has passed away at 60

http://globalnews.ca/news/3146060/ca...-heart-attack/

Not good news, not a lot of details other than she was rushed to the hospital after the plane made an emergency landing and that an EMT who happened to be on the same flight had been performing CPR. Hoping the force is with her and everything ends up ok.

Thankfully it was near the end of the flight and not over the Atlantic.

Celebrities getting another year older will solve things?

The associated press reports her brother as saying she is in stable condition in hospital and TMZ says her daughter and dog have arrived at the hospital to be with her.

I'm sending my love to her as she so graciously sent to me before. MTFBWY Princess Leia.

As somebody who grew up in the original Star Wars generation and loved Carrie Fisher post Star Wars as a writer and extremely funny later I'm praying for the best.

This is a tough lady who's gone through a lot of fights in her life, if anyone is going to kick a heart attacks ass and come out laughing about it, its Carrie Fisher.

She had lost a ton of weight over the last few years to return to the Star Wars universe and even managed to laugh about that.

Quote:
After a year of hard work dieting and exercising, the actress had lost 50 lbs. “I want to get into the metal bikini and just walk around the house like an idiot,” the actress told the Today showat the time. “Answer the doorbell: ‘What is it? This old thing?’ I’ll come out with a line of metal bikinis for women over 40. If you want dignity, you wear metal bikinis over [age] 40.”
Here's hoping that she fully recovers, the world needs more Carrie Fisher's not less.

Between the end of 2016 and her dog arriving at the hospital, I'm feeling pretty confident that Carrie's got plenty of good years ahead of her yet.

I was watching her appearance on the British show "8 Out Of 10 Cats" earlier today. She was great.

This is awful news. She probably developed a blood clot on the long flight. I hope she recovers.

Her brother has clarified that she's not in stable condition but in ICU, her condition unknown. This is very scary.

A heart attack on an airplane? Thats about as terrifying as it gets.

Otherwise a little empathy has never hurt anyone.
