Feckers who died young

[PalazioVecchio]

a) famous
b) young is all a relative to the eye of the beholder. A young gymnast is 7. A young footballer is 19, a young Prime Minister is Tony Blair 43. A young Pope was Benedict ix...age 20 in office and dead at 43.


1. Alexander the Great, 32....Malaria and/or booze.


2. Chris Penn, actor. 40 ...heart attack.


3. Diogo Jota .... 28....Liverpool footballer, car crash.


As usual, you may also include any general class that die young. Hence

- People in Chad & Lesotho.......53 years

- Base Jumpers......obviously

- Chain smoking alcoholics ( with the exception of Winston Churchill, 90 )

You mentioning base jumping was interesting to me so I looked it up on Grok.

Quite interesting:

' BASE jumping has a documented death rate of approximately 1 per 2,000–2,300 jumps, which is 5–43 times higher than skydiving (1 per 100,000 jumps). The lifetime fatality risk is estimated at around 10%, far exceeding most other extreme sports like rock climbing (1 per 320,000 ascents) or scuba diving (1 per 200,000 dives).'

I'll stick to my occasional jumping two steps off of stairs in my pretence that I can still move like I use to.

There is also a myriad of rappers who have been bumped off before their time.

Malcolm Owen,25 (heroine) of The Ruts one of my all-time favourite front men and band. Got to see him many times at the Albany in Deptford,The Marquee,Electric Ballroom and Brighton (cant remember where!!!). Way too young and still had a lot more
to give!
