They say that there are three things in life that are certain.
Death, taxes and change.
Sadly, death is inevitable and there is no way of predicting when your last moment on
Earth will be.
That was a clip of Paul Walker just minutes from his untimely death.
He had no idea that he was about to enter a car that would end his life.
So, as the saying goes… don’t take life for granted.
Today we are going to be looking at a very sensitive topic, so here are the top 10 scary
last words from celebrities.
Michael Jackson starts off this list in at number 10 with “More Milk.”
Milk was the nickname that he had given to the anesthetic propofol which is the same
drug that he overdosed on.
His incompetent doctor said that he was pleading and begging to please let him have some milk
because it was the only thing that would help him sleep.
But on June 25, 2009 the king of pop stopped breathing while he was sleeping under the
care of his doctor, Conrad Murray.
CPR was performed and resuscitation efforts were continued when he was taken to the hospital
but after an hour, he was pronounced dead.
His death was ruled a homicide and his doctor, Conrad Murray was charged with involuntary
manslaughter.
After Michael Jackson’s passing, it triggered a worldwide outpouring of grief and there
were even live broadcasts of his public memorial service.
Number 9 brings us to Paul Walker who said “We will be back in five minutes.”
The sudden death of Paul Walker was such a shock to people from all over the world.
On November 30, 2013 he attended a charity event for victims of Typhoon Yolanda.
As he was leaving the event, he got into his Porsche Carrera GT with a friend of his but
the car crashed into a concrete lamp post and instantly caught on fire.
Paul Walker died from the combined effects of trauma and burns to his body.
It was said that he was burned so badly that you couldn’t even recognize him.
The police said that neither of the men had any drugs or alcohol in their systems and
there was no mechanical failure to the car.
So, they deemed that the car’s speed and the age of the tires were the primary reasons
for the fatal crash.
Number 8 takes us to Ryan Dunn.
He was a stunt performer who rose to fame after his extreme stunts and pranks were recorded
on camera.
He was mostly known for his appearances on the series Jackass.
He died on June 20, 2011 when his car swerved off of the road where he hit a tree and burst
into flames.
Just hours before the crash, he posted this picture.
onto his twitter account of him and his friend drinking beer at a bar.
His last words were, “Stopping for a beer, be there when I can.”
A toxicology report revealed that he had twice the legal blood alcohol level in his system
and he was driving at speeds of up to 225km/h in a 90km/h zone.
The final words from Heath Ledger make it into number 7.
“Katie, Katie, look…it’ll be fine, you know, I just need to get some sleep.
Those were his final words that he said to his sister over the phone.
Katie was anxious about him not being able to sleep and she was worried about him because
he said that he was going to take sleeping pills on top of his other prescriptions for
a chest cold.
His sister warned him not to take the sleeping pills but he refused to listen to her.
On January 22, 2008 he was found unconscious in his bed by his housekeeper and his masseuse
and he died from a accidental intoxication from prescription drugs.
His death was a result of many conspiracy theories including the one where people believed
that his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight caused him to drive himself crazy and he became
lost in a dark place that he was never able to get out of.
But ultimately, he had other issues that led him taking too many drugs.
Marvin Gaye brings us to number 6.
You guys will recognize this iconic singer from one of his famous hit songs called “let’s
get it on.
It looked as though he was living a very successful life but in reality, he was dealing with a
lot of domestic issues.
On April 1, 1984 his father fatally shot him at their house in Los Angeles.
His final words were to his mother, he said, “Mother, I’m going to get my things and
get out of this house.
Father hates me and I’m never coming back.”
He never got the chance to leave the house because he was fatally shot very soon after.
It was reported that Marvin Gaye and his father had some bad blood between them after Marvin
Gaye intervened between an argument that his parents were having.
Next in at number 5 is Frank Sinatra.
“I’m losing it.”
According to the nurses at his bedside, these were the final words uttered by the iconic
singer.
Frank Sinatra died on May 14, 1998 at the age of 82 after he suffered from a severe
heart attack.
But he wasn’t the healthiest before he suffered from his heart attack.
He was constantly being hospitalized for heart and breathing problems, high blood pressure,
pneumonia and bladder cancer.
His wife urged him to fight while the medics were trying to save and stabilize him but
that’s when he said that he was losing.
The night after he passed away, the lights on the Empire state building were turned blue
and the lights at the Las Vegas strip were dimmed in his honour and the casinos stopped
spinning for one minute.
Number 4 takes us over to Amy Winehouse.
Her final words were “I don’t want to die.”
She said this statement to her doctor over the phone two hours before she was found dead.
According to her body guard, he was at her house three days before her death and he noticed
that she was mildly intoxicated.
He continued watching her for the next couple of days and he reported that she continued
to drink and she was watching tv until 2 in the morning on the day of her death.
At 10am, he saw her sleeping but this wasn’t unusual behaviour because she was known to
sleep in late after a night out.
However, at 3pm when he went in to check on her again, he realized that she wasn’t breathing
and she didn’t have a pulse.
He called medical services who pronounced her dead on July 23, 2011 at 3:54pm.
Her death was being described as a misadventure and it was found that she had more than five
times the legal drink and drive limit in her system.
Whitney Houston’s final words break onto this list in at number 3.
She said, “I’m gonna go see Jesus, want to see Jesus.”
It is reported that the iconic singer talked about Jesus and religion during her final
days.
She apparently even told friends that she felt like the end was near so she wanted to
spend more time praising the lord.
The scary thing is the night before her death, she performed a version of “Jesus loves
me.”
The next day on February 11, 2012 she was found unconscious in her suite at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel submerged in the bath water.
The cause of her death was later revealed to be the result of drowning due to heart
disease and cocaine use.
Her death was deemed an accident and her passing shocked the world.
Moving into number 2 we have Kurt Cobain.
He was the lead singer and guitarist for the famous rock band Nirvana.
His last few years of his life were full of drug addiction and negative press that surrounded
his relationship with his wife, Courtney Love.
On April 8, 1994 he was found dead in his Seattle home and it was revealed that he had
shot himself in the head with a shot gun and he had left a suicide note.
In his note, he talks a lot about not being passionate anymore and feeling numb.
One of the most memorable lines from his suicide note was this “It’s better to burn out
than fade away.”
Kurt Cobain was a highly influential artist and his music still impacts people to this
day.
In at our number 1 spot we have Steve Irwin.
The world famous crocodile hunter died at the age of 44 back in 2006 while he was filming
a documentary about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
The cameraman said that he was filming Steve when they came across a massive eight foot
wide stingray.
The final shot was supposed to be the stingray swimming away from Steve but instead, the
massive stingray lashed out and stabbed Steve Irwin hundreds of times in just a few seconds.
He had two inch wide injuries over his heart with blood rushing out of his body.
They managed to get him back onto the boat and the cameraman he kept saying “think
of your kids Steve, hang on, hang on, hang on.”
But Steve Irwin calmly looked up at him and said “I’m dying.”
Those were his final words and the footage of his death was passed on to his widow who
never released the video.
This was a tough video to get through.
My condolences goes out to the family and loved ones and whoever was touched or inspired
by these celebrities.
