It would be interesting to find out
how many comedians died from a problem with their aorta. its almost like being a comedian is a death sentence for some.

I know, it does seem that way doesn't it. Also I thought a ruptured aorta was very rare. I know they said it was after surgery but wouldn't that mean they screwed up somehow because of how rare it is and they were just in there poking around. I don't mean to to say anything bad, It's just wierd to me that's all. It just makes you think. I wonder what hospital she was in.

Hey, did you read from the editors note at the end about her ashes going to next of kin in Jamestown, N.Y., I wonder who the next of kin was. Don't her kids still reside in C.A.? I thought they did.

jayman75 · 09-30-2003, 12:59 PM

I think that means that the next of kin moved the ashes from the original spot. It doesn't mean that the location is next to kin. That's how I read it.

LILFACE23 · 09-30-2003, 01:12 PM

Ya you're right, I read it wrong. I wonder why they moved them though. Did she have relations in Jamestown?

i know, that is so weird that they died from the same cause(kind of) it was just the other day i saw them together on tc when she was hosting, and then i find out they died the same way.
