Carrie Fisher's sudden death is an enormously tragic loss to the future Star Wars Trilogy.

And to think ... she was only 60 (that's younger than me) - yet she died basically from a heart attack.

Considering that they already used CGI to bring another dead actor to the movie Rogue One - it should not be all that difficult to either have her in episode 9 in a reduced roll or to give her some alternate send-off in episode 8.

She was only a couple of days older than me

anyone over 40 need to make sure they have clean blood and veins.. blood clots can break off from enywhere at anytime and travel thru the veins till it blocks something....

[Old]

I am over 70 and do not know how to check my veins. 

Anyone reccomend a good vein cleaner? Vein-O! maybe?

I have known a few that died from thrombosis. They were directly under a doctor's care at the time.

Apparently the doctors didn't have a vein cleaner.  

Anti clotting factors aren't for the weak of heart, nothing like drinking a little poison to start your day.

I have heard that a good martini, stirred, not shaken, can do wonders. Somehow they never seem cold enough, so I still shake them.

Are we talking cramberry juice or something similar?

A glass of wine a day is supposed to be good for you, I'm almost two years ahead of schedule. ...

Serrapeptate is a good thing to take Jerry  to keep inflammation and keeps  clots  down , google it.  I have a history of heart issues in my family so just take it for prevention. 

[Qapla]

Just think - three of the largest movie franchises all are facing the same dilemma ....

 

Star Wars - Carrie Fisher

Star Trek - Anton Yelchin

Fast and Furious - Paul Walker

 

Fast and Furious seems to have found a way to deal with it, so far - we will see what the box office says. The other two still have to decide how they will handle it.

[hatcheckgirl]

Would her early years of abuse have contributed to her early death? Maybe. But many have died early even though they were fit and seemingly healthy, due to heart troubles, undiagnosed at the time.

[Qapla]

There has not been any official word that her early years of abuse were contributing factors in her heart attack and/or subsequent death .... one thing is sure though, that abuse certainly did not help her to "live long and prosper".

My dad died at 49 was lean guy  and good physical shape  ......massive heart attack and one week later a clot finished him .  

 

Joggers drop dead dead out jogging  ..... there are no guarantees that's for sure .

Thank you Miss Mouse. I will look into it.

I always liked her sense of humor...

I get the Enerex brand ( I think it's Canadian made ) 120,000 SU  one a day I take first thing in am on empty stomach . If you ordered from Canada your $ is higher may work out ok or you probably can find a good brand in the USA . They have tried to ban it here ( because it's effective)  . 

 

Disclaimer  I'm not promoting a cure all .

That's 2 this week from heart problems ... George Michael also died from heart trouble and he was only 53.

They haven't officially released a cause of death for George Michael yet.  At least as far as I know.  The initial articles said he died of heart failure.  That's a little bit of a deflection.  All deaths are heart failure.  The heart fails, it stops.  The person dies.   It doesn't matter if the cause was a gunshot wound or drug overdose or cancer.

[pnutts]

I want medical nanobots. Oops wrong story line. That is Star Trek stuff. Still want them now and Jehovah's permanent cure later. Is tomorrow later?

I do realise this, Shawn .... my daughter and I were saying the same thing when he died. I think I was still half asleep when I wrote that comment.  I have re-read it and realise it is totally wrong.  Anyway, he died way too young regardless of the cause.

Some of today's treatments do seem a bit "Star Trek" - I just had one of those called "Cyberknife" - very Star Trek like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That said, I guess we should look at the silver lining in the cloud - at least now Carrie and George do not have to "survive" Armageddon to have a chance to live in the NS - they may be in line for the resurrection since they have paid the price for their inheritance of Adam's imperfection.

Now they are reporting that her mom (Debbie Reynolds) possibly had a stroke.  Very sad.

[Joey]

The news report just said Debbie Reynolds has died also.
