“We’d like to keep the circumstances private” Yes, but now I’m like, super suspicious.

There is nothing suspicious about a celebrity's family just wanting to deal with death in private.

They usually don't put it like that, though. It's usually just "please respect our privacy during this difficult time", etc.

So I guess Chuck Norris has now keys for the Pearly Gates and is the one who gets to pick the heavenly club members. I'm sure roundhouse kicks are somehow part of the process.

Why do I feel like an era has ended...

Rest in peace.

He had some pretty awful views that he was pretty loud about, especially later in life. He also cheated on his wife at one point. However, so as not to speak (purely) ill of the dead, I will say that he was an accomplished martial artist with a prolific film career.

In 1961, in his early 20s. You get ~80 years on this planet to make mistakes and have views that some other people will dislike. If these are the worst things we can accuse him of, while acknowledging all his charitable work, I'd say he fared OK compared to many other role models we have.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

To be fair, you probably have some views some people think are pretty awful.

I don't see how this matters. Whoever thinks I'm horrible is 100% allowed to say this after I'm dead.
