Why do i love reading about celebrity deaths?


I enjoy looking up actors and actress's who have passed away, reading about their life and leading up to their death, does anyone else do this or am I just morbid?

I like it. You get to learn so much more about them just by reading their backgrounds and relationships with people. :) I never knew that Bill Murray and Harold Ramis had an argument for nearly two decades until right before Ramis died. It kind of shed a new light when I watched Groundhog Day a couple of weeks ago.

If weird, I'll happily be morbid still. :)

Glad I'm not alone, I find it very interesting for some reason.

I have read many Biographys of famous people who are no longer with us. That includes actors and actresses. I'm not necessarily interested in all of the details of their deaths so much as how they lived and their backgrounds.
I see nothing morbid in reading about famous people who have died. We read about many when we study history in school. That was one of my favorite subjects. I still enjoy learning about people's lives. If I see an old movie where just about all of the cast is no longer with us, I want to know more about these people. It's perfectly natural.
Why would you think it's morbid?

I don't know guess I just have a fascination with death.

What you said doesn't sound as though you are fascinated with death. You are just interested in people who have died. Nothing wrong with that.

I think its because I know I'm gonna join them one day :(

Well, you aren't alone. We are all in the same boat. It's a part of life. The thing to do is to enjoy living the life you have.

I think when I'm stressed I feel better reading about it as I know their are people worse off than me.

I guess thats somethign to be ashamed of?;)

Well, what I find interesting about celebrity deaths is their family and coworkers coming forward with stuff they didn't want to anger the party with by bringing it up when they were still around.

It's like the mask falls away...

It's not weird, just normal human curiosity.
