I'm really shocked. Don't know what to say, I was thinking he would recover as so many do from a stroke. So sad.
Looking at some of his recent pictures, and hearing his friends/family describe how bad the stroke was, I had a bad intuition. Major strokes (unlike mini strokes) take long time recovery and have an unpredictable long term prognosis. I didn’t know things would go south so soon though.
RIP
Another 1990s icon has passed on (along with Keith Flint recently), while I'm still trying to process the 90s as "a really long time ago." The further into adulthood you go, life just starts to blur together.
Very sad. I LOVED "Beverly Hills, 90210" when I was in junior high and he was really good on "Riverdale."
The sad reality is that the shows I loved and watched growing up, the actors are all older than me to begin with, so there will be many of this same story as the years go by.
Luke Perry was one of my first TV crushes. My friends and I watched him obsessively as preteens and teens for 10 years on 90210. Rest in Peace, you will always be remembered.
Luke was a generation X icon and 90210 was part of many young people's life. I too watched the show regularly. Sad day RIP Luke Perry.
My daughter and I watched this show together faithfully every week "back in the day." Now her generation is starting to die off, mine has been for awhile now. Time stands still for no one...........
Was Luke a tobacco smoker? Here's some info on known causes of strokes.
Quote:
High blood pressure. Your doctor may call it hypertension. It's the biggest cause of strokes. If your blood pressure is typically 140/90 or higher, your doctor will discuss treatments with you.
Tobacco. Smoking or chewing it raises your odds of a stroke. Nicotine makes your blood pressure go up. Cigarette smoke causes a fatty buildup in your main neck artery. It also thickens your blood and makes it more likely to clot. Even secondhand smoke can affect you.
