Lee Sun-kyun, one of the protagonists of Parasite (he was the rich guy, head of the family), was found dead in a car.

He was involved in a scandal about marijuana, interrogated for 19 hours by the police, and it seems he left a note, so it's likely he took his own life after the ordeal.

Neel Nanda, a somewhat new/up-and-coming comedian, 34 (the media reports are incorrect).

He may be best known for appearing on Jimmy Kimmel.

Really young, and sad to learn. Some reports have said suicide, but that is still unclear and unlikely. More likely some kind of unforeseen condition or accident.

The guy was a fantastic actor in several of my favorite movies. He will be missed.

Legendary NASCAR driver Cale Yarborough passes at the age of 84. Won three championships but is probably best known for the fight he was in with the Allison brothers at the end of the 1979 Daytona 500....

I remember him from the brief period in my youth when I found people driving cars to be enjoyable.  Honestly, I most remember him from some comedian who used to do an impression of Jackie Stewart, who...checking...is still alive.  He did this super exaggerated thing where he said, "and here come Cale Yarrrrrrrborough."  I wish I could remember who the comedian was.

RIP Cale.  My dad knew him.

RIP David Soul..I always loved Salem's Lot.

Cindy Morgan, 69. from Caddyshack and Tron..very sad to learn. And the circumstance of how she died appear mysterious.

I never saw Salem's Lot, and it's never been high on my list of favorite King novels either.

Honestly, I cannot say for certain I ever saw Tron.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

I recall one of my sisters saying that Salem's Lot scared the crap out of her.  I think she was talking about the book.  I never saw the movie, and I'm pretty sure I never saw the original Tron.  I did see the remake, which I don't recall being very good.

Orbert

The remake/sequel of Tron was garbage.  The original Tron was absolutely amazing in its day, but I don't know how well it would hold up for a first-time viewer today.

And on the same day, as discussed in the Magnum thread, we lost Tony Clarkin as well. He just announced one month ago he had a spinal condition that would prevent him from touring, I guess nobody could have imagined he had just few weeks left to live.... : (

That sucks! I didn't even know he was sick. He looked great in The Mandalorian!

This one is a shocker.

Adami

Was he sick? I didn't see cause of death. I assumed he died in a shoot out.

lonestar

One piece said he passed in his sleep but mentioned no cause, wonder if it was a heart attack or stroke...


Sucks man, he seemed like a genuinely good person throughout.
