That's a shame. I thought he died a few years ago in a car wreck after shooting his godson Mustang Sally.

RIP to Burt. Rocky was all I knew him for I think. His character irritated me as he didn't learn from his mistakes and spending sprees.

Re: R.I.P. The thread of death....celebrity or otherwise
A year or two ago my friends and I embarked on a Rocky movie marathon and for some reason Paulie's line in Rocky Balboa: "I got a watch! I got two watches!" became a catchphrase. Ex: "Did you guys get an email about that party?" "I GOT AN EMAIL! I GOT TWO EMAILS!" We ran it into the ground and then proceeded to still keep saying it.
So of course when my buddy texted me the other day, "I got a coffin! I got two coffins!" I knew this sad day had come.

I figured even death was afraid of Shaft, but Richard Rountdtree has left us at 81. RIP to one of the greats of the Blaxploitation genre,

R.I.P. Richard Moll
The instantly recognizable actor played ‘Bull,’ the gentle giant of the ‘Night Court’ cast, from 1984-1992.
Richard Moll, the 6’8″ actor who towered over the cast of the original ‘Night Court’ for episode after hilarious episode, has died. He was 80 years old, and according to TMZ, a rep for the family confirmed he died at home on October 26 in Big Bear Lake, California. He famously played “Bull” Shannon, the super-tall bailiff with a shaved head, on the show from 1984-1992, and was known for his comedic refrain of “Ohhh kay.”

Ohh noo. He was such a nice guy it seemed. Loved him in everything he did. 80. Time is flying fast. Harry and Markie and Bull are all gone. Doesn't seem that long ago.

Matthew Perry of Friends. Apparently drowned in his jacuzzi. First responders were answering a call of possible cardiac arrest. No drugs on the scene. I won't lie, I love Friends and I've always rooted for Perry to kick his addictions and find happiness. I feel bad for the others, as I'm sure they're gutted right now.

Sad news. Me and my wife loved watching Friends. Always seemed a casual kinda guy. Had his troubles but faced them.
You wouldn't think someone would simply drown in their hot tub without other circumstances. Like slipping and hitting your head. Or like Whitney Houston being drugged and drowning or drunk. Someone well and just falling asleep would seem to wake up soon as their face hit the water.
RIP old buddy. Sorry to hear this. He was 3 months younger than me.

Obviously, we don't know any real details yet, but cardiac arrest free of intoxication could be the cause.

My BIL's wife's sister died in a hot tub quite a few years ago, but it's a tossup whether it was an accident because drugs were involved. Stoned and relaxed is not the worst way to die.

Apollo astronaut Ken Mattingly at 87. He orbited the moon on Apollo 16 and flew the shuttle a couple of times, but he's best remembered at the guy who was bumped from commanding Apollo 13 three days before the flight because he was exposed to measles. "Commander Mattingly did not, in fact, develop German measles, and he played a significant part in the plan developed by the astronauts and mission control in Houston to get them home safely."
