Was I the only one who saw his death was going to come? Seriously? He was always depressed! Suicide was obviously going to come! Yeah, it's very saddening, but this is a list of celebrity deaths YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING! You don't need to be a psychologist to realize that depressed people can commit suicide!

It happened out of the blue and nobody saw it coming despite the fact he had depression for over 10 years.R.I.P

I agree with this in every way possible. At age 50 (going on 51) he was in fine condition. Then came the news that Jackson was intoxicated by his personal physician (Conrad Murray), which pretty much none of us saw coming.

Good man died too early.

3 Carrie Fisher Carrie Frances Fisher (1956-2016) was an American actress, screenwriter, author, producer, and humorist. She was the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. Fisher was known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars film series.

I saw this coming from a mile away

It was widely known that he was recklessly promiscuous. This was not hard to predict.

5 Steve Irwin Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin, nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an Australian wildlife expert, television personality, and conservationist.

Are ya kidding'? This guy was reckless. He took so many unnecessary risks, it was surprising it took as long as it did. Was ironic the way it happened, though.

6 Robin Williams Robin McLaurin Williams was an American actor and comedian. Starting as a stand-up comedian in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, he is credited with leading San Francisco's comedy renaissance. He died in 2014.

Not unexpected at all. As a charter member of the "27 Club", it's a miracle he lived as long as he did.

He did so much drugs, it wasn't unexpected.

He was shot while performing, onstage.

RIP the coolest guy ever
