Does it mystify anyone else to hear and read people saying the death of an old person is sad? It's like the death of that person shocked them to remember it had to happen. If the person has lived a happy and successful life, then anyone who liked/loved that star/celebrity/whatever should celebrate the life of the person and not be sad at his/her passing like they were cut down in the prime of life. It's inevitable everyone, it's not a lottery that poor person lucked out on. Get used to it; it will happen to you and everyone else one day. Honest, it will!
