Most of these celebs who are "found dead" are known drug abusers.
I presume that Chyna will get an autopsy, and Fox News confirmed that Prince is getting one today, although toxicology results may take a week or more. Police may or may not reveal the cause of death soon.
I am, pretty frankly, disgusted at the adulation the media gives these people. Even our local channels seem to have talking heads who are more interested in some rock singer with a history of drug abuse than they are about history or nature. I think some of them who come here from other states have to have it explained to them what a coyote or a bobcat is. They have to report about them when viewers call the station and ask what to do when those animals invade their neighborhoods. They about freak when they have to do a snake report.
I don't think the local media have a clue as to who the Doolittle Raiders were, and one gal admitted that she doesn't even know what Spam is, the processed pork product from Hormel, not the Internet kind. But another reported today that Hormel is opening a new Spam museum. She admitted having eaten Spam at her parent's place, growing up, but not since. Maybe she'll share her knowledge with the other reporters.
I think these people and a lot of other young Americans are mainly interested in music, sports, and electronic games and in getting pot legalized. And, of course, in promoting PC and chasing ratings.
Never fear: You'll soon know what the cause of death was. The reporters will make a big deal of how sad it is that such a talented person died so young, etc.
These are the people who give a recipient of the Medal of Honor maybe five minutes on the talk shows and seem to have trouble comprehending just what that medal is and what the recipient did to receive it. But they'll give a dead singer a week or two of dedicated coverage, as if we'd incurred a grave loss that will have a major place in history.
It's easy to see what their values are. Their version of a hero or role model is different than mine. If you were a fan of Chyna, sorry. I'm just really bummed by all the Prince publicity. Ditto for Michael Jackson a few years ago. And all of these accolades come from broadcasters who think that Thos. Jefferson was an evil man who's newsworthy only when they want to report that he owned slaves and may have had descendants by one.
