PATRONS ONLY: From Mama Cass to Bob Marley, our Worst Celebrity Death Myths
Added 2021-08-10 15:01:21 +0000 UTCHello Deathlings,
Welcome to the first PATRON-ONLY video of our summer vacation!
Team Death Video really enjoyed researching this one for you all. It's fascinating how almost anything celeb death-related becomes canon (a meme) no matter how cruel or absurd it actually sounds. And how readily we accept those "facts".
What started out as a dive into "What really happened to Michael Hutchence?" actually made us ponder our biases. [Gives self high five]
Plus you get to witness the beginnings of my face melting off my skull, so.
Enjoy the video deathlings and thank you for making our work possible!

I know this is an older video, but thank you for doing the story of Cass Eliot. I love her music and the obsessive and derogatory way her bandmates talk about her weight in every documentary and interview makes me furious. Add to that the sensationalism of her death myth. She was one of the greatest vocalists of all time. She was a beautiful woman and lived her life overcoming unbelievable fatphobia. She inspires me as I also struggle with my own life's journey. Thanks Caitlin for giving her some dignity.
