Why Do So Many Famous People Die Young?

Does it ever strike you odd that so many celebrities die young? Think about it, have you ever heard of a huge star living to the ripe old age of eighty? Or seventy, even? Sure, you have a few, but the majority of them never even reach the life expectancy for humans today. Why is that? I have heard many theories, and I have compiled the most likely into this article. Feel free to send me more after you are done reading.

One of the most common reasons that you hear about is drug use and abuse. It is no secret that many celebrities use drugs way more often than they should. Anna Nicole Smith died from a drug overdose in 2007. Michael Jackson died recently when the misuse of prescription drugs caused his heart to give out. Brittany Murphy died just a week or two ago. Though I still do not know what it was that killed her, I have heard rumors that it was drug related. But then again, it seems like every time a celebrity dies, somebody says it is drug related. Why do they abuse drugs like that? It's most likely because they need a way to deal with the stress of their positions. Famous people are stressed out a lot.

Many celebrities and politicians commit suicide. Most of you probably would not remember it, but a very infamous suicide was that of Judy Garland. Judy Garland was the star of The Wizard of Oz. She played Dorothy. Her suicide rocked the nation. There was a famous rock star, whose name I cannot recall at this moment, who shot himself after taking a good deal of illegal drugs. Again with the drug thing. It seems that not only do celebrities overdose on drugs, they also kill themselves because of them. My old mentor once told me that he does not think famous people are really happy, and that is why they die so young and so frequently. That would certainly explain the suicides.

I've heard tell that there is a conspiracy to kill or defame any celebrity that does not stick to the status quo (please pardon the high school musical pun). One of the Beatles was murdered and I do not think they ever caught his killer. Rap star Tupac was also killed, and I know they have not caught his killer. Normally I would not consider such a farfetched and outlandish notion like a massive conspiracy but when you look at the big picture, there are just so many of these strange deaths.

These are some of the most plausible ideas I have heard concerning celebrities dying young. If anyone has any other ideas, feel free to let me know. Who knows? It may make another article of mine.
