What's with all the family members dying?

[ShitOnWheels]

I didn't wanna hyjack anyone's thread, but within the past week, a lot of ppl have lost family members. Wayfast, JR, myself (I didn't post about it, but my 18 year old cousin was found dead in a Lyndhurst park Oct 14/15, funeral was this past weekend), and a few others I know I read about but can't remember the names.

I know my cousin's death has reminded me how short life can be...and that doing drugs (heroin in his case) is baaaaaaaaaaaaaad (still no official word if he OD'd or if he was murdered, there is evidence it could be either).

I mean, I know people die on a daily basis, but it seems like there have been so many related to people on this board. Just seems weird, although I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation (we have quite a few active members that it is bound to happen).

What was the stat they posted recently, someone is born in the US every 9 seconds, and someone dies every 15 seconds, or something like that? It’s all randomly applied percentages. The more users we get, the more these things happen.

As you said, it is very short and random. Life is funny in how it just keeps moving on.

All you young guys should do the cool stuff in life that is hard to do later, like travel. Go to Europe. Asia. Daytona. Whatever. It is probably my only regret, not doing more stuff when I was younger
