20 US Celebrities Who Died Too Young

The death of any young person is tragic, when stars die before their time, the ripple effect can be felt around the world. Celebrity deaths, in particular, serve as an unsettling reminder that our time on Earth is limited. None of us will live indefinitely. And none of us, no matter how wealthy, famous, or talented, are immune to bad luck. However, the stories of these 20 celebrities can teach us to appreciate the time we have.

Here are some of the 20  US celebrities who died too young. They include the following;

1. Heather O’Rourke

Unfortunately, the world will never know if Heather O’Rourke would have become an award-winning actress because she died when she was only 12 years old before her acting career could begin. If you don’t recognize O’Rourke’s white-blonde hair and blue eyes, you might remember her from Steven Spielberg’s Poltergeist: “They’re here!” O’Rourke also appeared as a guest star on several TV shows, including Happy Days. O’Rouke died on January 31, 1988, in San Diego, of septic shock and cardiac arrest caused by a misdiagnosed congenital intestinal stenosis. She died while being operated on.

2. Lee Thompson

Young has appeared in several films and television shows, including “Friday Night Lights” and the TNT drama “Rizzoli & Isles,” but his professional success has not been enough to keep his chronic depression at bay. Young, who was seeking treatment for his bipolar disorder, was discovered dead in his Los Angeles apartment on August 19, 2013. An autopsy revealed that the 29-year-old died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His death was determined to be a suicide.

Sadly, he died at the start of what could have been a promising career.
