The Rest In Peace (RIP) Thread

And The Doors... He got robbed of an Academy Award on that one (wasn't even nominated), probably because as a whole the movie didn't quite work (because of the screenplay, all other aspects of the film were great except this most important one). Val sang all the vocals himself, and rumor has it he never quite "recovered" from using method acting to portray Morrison. Years later you could still see affectations of Morrison in Val"s voice and body language. Being possessed by the "demon" that was Jim Morrison probably contributed to the obsessive chain smoking and degenerate sexual activity that led to his throat cancer and early demise. RIP.
 
Kilmer's health-related issue started in 2014 when he noticed something wrong in his throat, which caused him to vomit blood. Speculation back then was tumor in his throat according to doctor(s). He had a lot of health problems since 2014.
Swayze was the other that had pancreatic cancer. Did Kilmer have esophageal cancer?
 
No idea. It was throat cancer. Kilmer lived a private life so he didn't talk about it much.
Randy Quaid is a terrible source for accurate information.

See here under the "legal issues" section:

“Disgraced conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter who incorrectly stated that the 2020 election was stolen due to mass election fraud”

He sounds like he’s probably a forum member
 
Surprising the pope had such an active day just before he died. There is a whole body of knowledge about death and dying and the pattern it follows. You run into it when you have a loved one that is declining and needing hospice care. There is a pattern that is clearly recognizable once you have read some of the materials they provide, and have seen it play out a few times. The pattern starts to play out weeks ahead of the end, sometimes months.

Obviously some people die suddenly by surprise. However, the pope has been sick and declining for some time, so it seems pretty likely he was fitting the death and dying pattern. The pope and the people around him must have known he was at death's door, with possibly only hours to live.

I'm amazed he even had the remaining energy to meet people and to get up briefly and speak to the crowd at the Easter Mass. Many people on their last day are too weak to talk or get out of bed.

I have to give him credit that he did as much as he could up to the end.
