Dan Reeves, former NFL player but made his mark as a head coach of the Denver Bronocos (three Superbowl appearances, but no wins).
Perhaps the first celebrity death of 2022.
Huh, i saw her in the death pool thread, and assumed she was here, too

Btw BBTs Leonard’s middle name was Leakey, named after Richard’s father Louis, also a renowned archiologist
Peter Bogdanovich
wasn’t he also in the Sopranos? As a shrink for shrinks?
According to that obit, yes:
Bogdanovich had a small role in the film, and also acted in other projects, perhaps most memorably playing a therapist in “The Sopranos.”
Bob Saget:
yikes, he did stand-up saturday night and then died on sunday. wonder what happened. heart attack?
Or stroke.
2nd show of a 27 (if I counted right) show tour. He obviously didn’t think he was approaching death.
RIP Danny Tanner
Or self induced
Wow.
At least reporting I saw said no drugs, so if it was self-induced, it would have had to be more intentional.
i doubt that someone who was doing a 27-show tour would be oh, i’m done with this, time to off myself.
likely heart attack or stroke imo.

Wasn’t Chris Connel in the middle of a concert tour with sound Garden 2017 when he killed himself? But your probably right with stroke or heart attack.
Anyway RIP.
Yes, he was on tour. Also had 4 doses of Ativan in his system and a bunch of other stuff before he hanged himself.
Coroner said drugs not a factor, but according to Wikipedia he had taken:
which seems like a lot to have no mental/nervous side effects. But IANAC (oroner).
Although…
It’s more likely that he took the atavan because he was depressed/agitated/in a bad mental place, and it didn’t sooth him enough, than that he killed himself because he was on atavan.
fwiw, performers often have no health insurance. I knew a (not at all famous, but he was making a living) musician who hadn’t seen a doctor in years, because self-employed and no insurance, who dropped dead the day after he performed with a fairly good friend. It was a heart attack, and completely unexpected, although the friend said the guy hadn’t looked great after their gig.
The guy was in his 50s, and it was a huge shock to everyone who knew him. But I hear “self employed person drops dead” and my first thought is heart attack/stroke.
and he made a comment on candace cameron’s instagram page less than a day ago!
his comment is getting non-stop replies now.
