Dying young by your own hand either accidentally or purposely is always sad. But when it is extremely talented musicians/actors/creators?

Don't you mourn the loss of what they might have done with their lives had they lived?

We know James Dean died in a car "accident". But wasn't he also deeply in love with the actress Pier Angeli and she married another Italian? Maybe that was untrue or if true maybe it had nothing to do with his dying.

River Phoenix was 23 when he died of a drug overdose.

How old were all the others who were here and then were gone in their prime?

Then add to that those who died in plane crashes.

Is it FATE? I don't know but  it haunts me. Strangers to me yes but what more would they have done with their lives? What other contributions might they have made had they lived?
