    For celebs that's pretty young

    Also thats a funny age to die at .. Bowie did it, Alan Ricknan did it and I think Lou Reed too

    For a man, I bet they're laughing at their tombstones

    Half the funny people in Hollywood are Canadians.... Jim Carrey, Dan Aykrody, Mike Meyers, Seth Rogan, Eugene Levy, Leslie Nielsen, Howie Mandel, John Candy, etc, etc.... google it and you'll be amazed.

    Interestingly, they say his net worth was something like 40 million. What is interesting is much of that wealth was from writing the music (intro songs) for TV shows like Different Strokes and Facts of Life. Royalties are where it is at.
