unsolved celebrity deaths lloyd says
there’s a rumor your dad has been shot
for this list we’re exploring the
untimely deaths of celebrities the
details of which have yet to be fully
determined we’re not investigating
conspiracy theories per se as we have
another list for that but rather the
facts of these cold cases they popping
going nowhere well say number 10
Brittany Murphy let’s do a makeover no
Brittany Murphy rose to fame playing an
ugly duckling in 1995’s clueless which
is amazing considering her real-life
beauty and poise equally astounding are
the confusing circumstances surrounding
her shocking 2009 death the family had
reported that she had not been feeling
well the last few days and that she had
flu-like symptoms and felt sick the
coroner initially listed natural causes
as the official culprit but later
revealed that Murphy had been consuming
a variety of over-the-counter drugs and
had been treating pneumonia prior to her
death just three months after the
coroner’s revised statement her husband
Simon Monjack passed away under similar
circumstances the 39 year old was found
unconscious Sunday night in the same
Hollywood Hills home where Murphy had
gone into cardiac arrest December 20th
toxic mold later came into play as a
potential factor a concept first
rejected by Murphy’s own mother before
she ultimately supported the theory I
absolutely positively thinks she was
poisoned yes I’m calling forth the big
zoom number 9 Robert Johnson
for musicians the blue-jean evokes
images of heartbreak and perseverance it
was Robert Johnson who originated the
Delta blues sound in the late 30s only
to pass away suddenly at just 27 years
old part of the mystery surrounding
Johnson’s death can be traced to
sunhouse who once joked to a journalist
that Johnson sold his soul to the devil
in order to master his craft people
ultimately believed this tale
inconceivable as it may seem even if it
were true it still doesn’t explain
whether Johnson died from syphilis or
from poisoning at a local bar then again
maybe he did meet someone at the
crossroads hall with a brown number 8
Jimmy Hoffa laughs anybody who might
have information concerning my father’s
whereabouts please come forward while
nobody seems to know exactly how this
famous union leader met his demise most
agree that he was likely murdered but by
whom and why originally disappearing on
July 30th 1975 in Detroit Jimmy Hoffa’s
whereabouts have long been a mystery
especially when so many gangsters have
taken credit for his killing after all
the man did immerse himself in the
underworld and apparently scheduled
meetings with top-level mafia figures
for the day he vanished but with no body
it’s impossible to fully understand what
actually happened on that fateful day
but he is not under Giants Stadium
probably number 7 Ryan
spinner Spencer Ryan when they came up
did they say they was gonna do some
thumping okay uh not really but it
always turns out that list was like
stalking in life this Canadian was a
passionate professional on the ice as a
crucial bit of context to a story it’s
important to know that his father once
took over a TV station at gunpoint when
his sons televised debut was preempted
got a serious disagreement with CBC
programming and there’s gonna be a
revolution
chases it didn’t end well for Roy
Spencer and after a decade in the NHL
his son Brian spiraled out of control as
well leading to a 1987 murder charged on
the charge of murder in the first degree
how do you find the defendant not guilty
surprisingly a jury acquitted him of all
charges but Spencer immersed himself in
a world of drugs and somehow managed to
get himself shot like his father payback
or a drug deal gone wrong in the end
poor choices sealed his fate we just
don’t know exactly which choices they
were number six Bobby fuller
the man who discovered ritchie valens
also signed texas musician Bobby fuller
to a contract I would never believe that
he took his own life
sadly also like balance Bobby Fuller’s
career was cut short when he
mysteriously died in Hollywood in the
summer of 66 Fuller was found in a car
with hemorrhages all over his body yet
no signs of physical violence were
apparent a suicide if so it’s a strange
one the mob
saw his potential success and wanted in
on it and some have even speculated that
fuller ran with a mobbed-up girlfriend
barely into his career fuller succumbed
to the tight grasp of Hollywood Fame at
only 23 years of age number five
Jack Nance cut them up like regular
chickens sure just come up like regular
chicken this man appeared in some of
cinema’s most iconic works by David
Lynch the most unusual of Directors five
years after his wife committed suicide
Jack Nance went on a drinking vendor and
apparently picked a fight with an
unknown kid at a Pasadena donut Emporium
he could be kind of verbally abusive so
he might have said something and then
that was that was it Nance went to lunch
with friends following the fight and
allegedly had a crescent-shaped bruise
under his eye it turned out that his
injuries caused a subdural hematoma
killing him the following morning but
it’s the details surrounding his death
that make it so mysterious why would a
successful actors start a fight with a
kid outside a donut store your guess is
as good as ours
considering the murder investigation led
to no arrests leaving this case unsolved
an unsolved homicide in some kind of
quirky way I think you wouldn’t love
that number for Natalie would you
kidding you’re a monkey but I don’t know
how to be an out as a child as a
teenager and as a grown woman the
beautiful Natalia starred in several of
cinema’s most beloved films
have you smelled Shawn maybe whatever
you want out door oh but as the 80s came
along life slowed down for Natalie Wood
and sadly her lifelong fear of drowning
became a reality I’ve always been
terrified still AM of of water dark
water sea water accompanied by actor
Christopher Walken and her husband
Robert Wagner would embarked on a
Catalina adventure that quickly turned
deadly a turbulent evening on the
Pacific Ocean was followed the next
morning by the discovery of woods
lifeless body a mild from the boat an
autopsy later revealed bruises on
Natalie’s face and arms yet those
disturbing facts remain in the
background of a bizarre Hollywood
narrative that’s just as interesting
today as it was then
my dad was incredibly devastated and
very tender in telling us what had
happened
number three Bob Crane by 1978 the
career of this Hogan’s Heroes star had
stalled a bit even so Bob Crane still
had that certain something that
attracted admiring females that being
said he continued to perform traveling
around the US on a dinner theater tour
however during an extended stay in
Scottsdale
he was found bludgeoned to death and
with an electrical cord around his neck
a man named John Henry Carpenter was
ultimately tried and acquitted for the
murder not guilty of murder and signed
foreperson Michael lake given that he
and Crain allegedly recorded sexual
encounters with women it may be possible
that someone connected with those films
didn’t find the private videos quite so
entertaining it was like a mad scientist
who dealt in photographs of women you
know were videotapes and I mean he loved
women and he loved cameras you put them
together there you go number two Nancy
Spungen Cindy’s not interviewing me
please try and wake up Jo like a cup of
coffee you may not recognize this
woman’s name but if you’re familiar with
punk rock then you surely her
Sid and Nancy he was quite possibly a
virgin for him at Nancy
by the time Sid Vicious and the Sex
Pistols broke up they had released only
one studio album albeit an iconic one
and essentially transformed an entire
genre
however by 1978 the bassist was holed up
with runaway Nancy Spungen at the famous
Chelsea Hotel and well they consumed a
lot of drugs as the story goes SID
allegedly stabbed his girlfriend in the
bathroom after yet another chaotic
evening perhaps as some claimed drug
dealers were the real culprits he said
guess what he’s the bomb to everyone in
the room when he said that Sid had
killed her that no one believed him but
Sid took the truth to his grave just
four months after Nancy’s death what
would you love to be before we unveil
our number-one pick
here are some honorable mentions so if
you mention you toothbrush one more time
I’m gonna spit up the night that he was
shot was it was a dream that was not
true I still don’t believe it as a real
thing you see eight bears and fear and a
fight you better help the bear
number one tupac shakur by his 25th
birthday Tupac Amaru Shakur had released
four acclaimed albums starred alongside
Janet Jackson on the big screen and
survived a 1994 shooting so when the
news broke that Tupac had been shot
after 1996 Mike Tyson fight it seemed
like just another Tupac moment but then
he died and the conspiracy theories
began to Parkman I did he was dead they
be restaurant doing for murder
you know he’s somewhere smoking a Cuban
cigar a gang member did it another
rapper he faked his death then six
months later the notorious b.i.g was
gunned down in LA the stories of Tupac
