The Big Chill spawned a lot of later Oscar winning actors.

Dying of natural causes at 71 seems unusual these days.

ETA: He announced he had terminal prostate cancer in 2018, according to the BBC.

Already posted in the wrestling thread but Scott Hall was a big well known celebrity even if you weren't a big wrestling fan.

Scott Hall left an indelible mark on the professional wrestling business.

The legendary co-founder of the nWo died on Monday at the age of 63, after suffering several heart attacks over the weekend following complications from hip surgery, WWE announced.

“WWE extends its condolences to Hall’s family, friends and fans,” the company said in a statement.

He was super entertaining and one of the best wrestling heels ever IMO. I'd rank him up there with Randy Savage. Definitely a wrestling legend.

He played a writer dying of cancer in the latest season of Mythic Quest. I didn’t recognize him at first.

With the release of Bob Sagets hotel room photos it can now be confirmed he did die from falling and hitting his head on the headboard. Gotta respect the families wishes but certainly there is some sort of cover up going on.

I'm of the opinion of "who cares"
let the family deal with it in private.

morbid to pore over photos of his hotel room, playing detective.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy or coverup?

you can die by popping a zit, so it's no surprise that someone could get unlucky with a thinly padded headboard.

Does Madeleine Albright count as a celebrity? She is in my world (first female secretary of state in U.S.). Passed away today from cancer.

She was on Parks & Rec so I say that counts.

What cover up could there about about Bob Saget? lol. I'm normally open to hearing sides to a story but off the top this sounds like crazytalk.

If his family is satisfied that is all that really matters, but hitting one’s head and a padded headboard as a COD does raise some questions no?

Did he get the "jab"? One of the microchips might have exploded.

My understanding is that he was the actual inventor of 5G and had the keys to 'The Secret Garden' that was too dangerous to allow him to reveal!

not really.

for all we know he was running to the bed, his panties fell around his ankles and stumbled at speed into the headboard while yelling "Aristocrats!"

who cares. without all the info, it's dumb speculation. have you ever seen "padded" headboards in a hotel? I wouldn't call what's on some of them actual padding. maybe he had a weak spot in his skull or just hit it the worst unluckiest place.

I had never put the name to the face until today.

He played so many roles. I knew the name. Famous. Yet for some reason never knew the face. I know I sound stupid.

Always thought it was John Hurt. Who has had many roles. He has too, just a different person.

I definetitly prefered William Hurt.

Never really a leading actor but he was good in almost any role.

Lately I have begun to appreciate the work of another supporting actor J.K. Simmons. He has been in so many tv shows and movies. Never really knew the name but knew the face.

Doesnt get the appreciation he deserves.
