Paul Walker, Heath Ledger, Jim Morrison, now those were pre-mature.

Take the Carrie Fisher thread for example. Over 60 and years of coke abuse. Unfortunate? Yes. Surprise? Shouldn't be.

You could say that the connection is the heightened risks associated with the celebrity lifestyle. Except for Walker, all of the above died of possible drug abuse.

George Michaels - cocaine (causes long term heart damage)
Carrier Fisher - cocaine (causes long term heart damage)
Heath Ledger - painkilers
Jim Morrison - heroin + alcohol
Prince - painkillers

You could draw the extreme that Paul Walker died of the celebrity lifestyle as well if you consider most regular people wouldn't be involved in that kind of car accident.

It's now being reported that G. Michael may have died of a heroin overdose. Not sure how much truth there is to it, but there are reports that he'd already had a close call in the last year and been rushed to hospital:

I sometimes wish the families would just get ahead of the story and reveal the cause of death as soon as they know.

Sorry, but the price of fame is the loss of privacy

Watched that movie the other day based only on hearing George Michael was somehow involved. It was actually pretty good.
