Inactivity?

Apparently you don't know her work.

He died of heart failure, and judging by the recent photo of him showing an alarming recent weight gain, I'm guessing he was on medications that caused him a lot of fluid retention.

Frankly, neither of their early deaths is a great surprise given the amount of substance abuse they both partook in throughout the years. That kind of damage just can't be undone. But it doesn't make the losses any less heartbreaking.

I wonder if she developed a blood clot on the long flight.
I'll miss her tremendous talent, which I most recently enjoyed on Catastrophe.

There has been no autopsy so we don't know what he died of. But one of his close friends said he was having all night parties at his house every night leading up to his death and was still battling drug addiction particularly heroin.

George suffered from weight gain all his life, he was always on diets..and it says he became reclusive and he didnt want fans to see him fat or different from his handsome self.

He never carried the kind of weight that he apparently had in recent months. And I don't know what you're referring to when you say "it says" ... are you referring to a particular story?

Yes, and Carrie Fisher was into drugs big time, as well. Now, both gone in their 50s. Gee, I wonder if drugs had anything to do with their deaths?

I wish these folks would face reality about the long-term dangers of drugs. We wouldn't lose them so early.

I thought her one-woman show on HBO was hilarious. Very funny stuff based around her and Liz and Eddie and Debbie.

As sad as this is I'm not really surprised. Carrie was pretty open about a lot of self destructive tendancies in her life.

Rest In Peace Carrie.
