11 Unexpected Celebrity Deaths That Left a Huge Void

For every celebrity who lives a long, rich life well into their golden years, there are those who tragically passed away before we were ready to say goodbye. In some cases, they had depression or substance abuse issues that could never get resolved, and then for others it was a completely unexpected death that resulted from an accident of some kind. In any event, when a famous person dies relatively young, part of their legacy ends up being about the movies or TV shows they will never appear in, or the songs they’ll never get a chance to write and perform. But no matter what, they will always be remembered. Here are 11 deaths that were especially sad.

Paul Walker

One of the biggest stars in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, Walker died at the age of 40 while sitting in the passenger side of his Porsche, which crashed into a concrete lamp and two trees after reaching speeds of over 100mph. Three movies were released posthumously, including “Furious 7,” and the hit song “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth was made in honor of his memory.
