Celebrity Death Thread 2026

[Pale Rider]

I can't imagine that Hasbro isn't furiously scrambling to do something as a tribute before the 40th-anniversary theatrical rerelease of Transformers the Movie.

As if the movie itself isn't heartbreaking enough.

RIP to the legendary voice actor, he has now become one with the Allspark

Hey, Grim Reaper, take a freaken break already! Three days in a row of taking some of the biggest names around is too much!

Hey, Grim Reaper, take a freaken break already! Three days in a row of taking some of the biggest names around is too much!

He simply doing his job and he doesn't go by our schedules, the day he takes a break is the day everyone stops dying!

 

[Caldwin]

Three days in a row. This week needs to end.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Who is it today? I'm scared.

 

[The Predaking]

The Grim Reper has been fired after three days of formal complaints.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Who is it today? I'm scared.

King of Norway, its clear he working his way through a list of famous people this week, first a famous actor, then a voice actor and now royalty, we got two more days before the week is officially over, so its a case of who next on the list?

The Grim Reper has been fired after three days of formal complaints.

Its likely he been reinstated because he good at his job and he only doing what his boss wants, so the puny souls are just going on lists of future reaps, after all he simply doing his job!

 

[Pale Rider]

This one flew under my radar until now. I remember him as Elias in V.

Hey, Grim Reaper, take a freaken break already! Three days in a row of taking some of the biggest names around is too much!

Two days, technically.

I believe Cullen's people waited a day before revealing his.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

No, that was Curry's people. He died on the same day as Dolly, but they waited a day to announce it.

 

[LiamA]

I am not that upset about Tim Curry's death. Death just took what the stroke didn't take.

 

[Sabrblade]

This one was overlooked before Dolly's passing. While not quite a celebrity, he was the world's oldest living World War II U.S. Marine Corps veteran at 106:

My grandpa was also a WWII vet and born the same year, but he passed twenty years ago. 106 is a hell of a long run.

(Actually both of my grandfathers fought in WWII, but I was never very close with the other side of my family.)

 

[Caldwin]

Last week was busy. But today is for: Clue, 9 to 5 and Transformers the Movie. RIP: Tim Curry, Dolly Parton and Peter Cullen.
