Carrie Fisher RIP - May The Force Be With You

Carrie Fisher passed this morning after having a heart attack on a flight from London to L.A on Friday.

Rest In Peace

2016 a brutal year indeed!

Just seeing this on the news right now. Terribly sad and shocking, RIP!

May the force be with her.

When the reports said she hadn't been breathing for 10 minutes before the plane landed (or about 25 minutes, total), I instantly thought there must be some permanent brain damage. While sad, it's not surprising.

The first 30 days following a MI is the most dangerous. Quite a lot of people don't make it.

This^^^.

She died on that plane, if you really read the original news stories. They must have had her plugged-in for the last few days. Very sad.

That is Sebastian Shaw.

Gutted to hear about Carrie Fisher, especially just after seeing Rogue One and getting excited for Episode VIII.

What a terrible year it has been......
