I've noticed recently a number of celebrity death stories pointedly don't explain the deaths. Is this pure coincidence, or is this a kind of deliberate practice?

#32Not to speak poorly of someone who died but anyone who watched his stand up comedy or listened to him on 'shock jock' radio would never call him "America's Dad". He got off on being the total opposite of his image on TV and being a 'wild and crazy' foul mouthed. drug using type of person. Just like how he was in his cameo in Entourage.
He was the father figure on Full House which a lot of North Americans grew up watching.
That and being the jovial host of Funniest Home Videos is how ~95% of North America knows Bob Saget.

Thanks, that's great to read. In case my comment was taken the wrong way, I didn't mean to imply he OD'd or anything, I meant to imply that he didn't seem to be one that would OD, and 65 is relatively young to go unexpectedly. Shocked me!
I make a point of assuming any deaths I don't know the cause of were strokes. It can happen at any age, and it keeps me from speculating about something more lurid.
I usually assume heart attack, that's kind of the other biggie.

The man was identified as Robert Saget & pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.

Why an overdose should make his passing "not great" is unclear.

I believe he was known for doing a lot of coke in the 80s and 90s so perhaps he just ran his body hard in his youth and 65 is where his body ended up.

#36Anyone who's seen even 10 seconds of his standup act would scoff at the "America's Dad" label.

I doubt it. More just that new of their death is so widespread so far compared to regular people that the cause of death is discovered after.

Keep your speculation to yourself, it serves no purpose here.
A huge part of contributing to and reading HN is for speculation lol
And basically every reply at the level of the GP was speculation. The post was a bit crass but certainly parallel to the others speculating about a cause of death.

With Norm, it was most likely a disgruntled moth.
He's probably still at the pearly gates(or whatever equivalent one believes in) telling the setup for that joke...
At the very least, I don't think he's very popular with his own podiatrist, if the version he told on the Tonight Show is any indication.
