Welcome To The End of Celebrity Death Week.

This fucking week stunk for deaths, particularly in the worlds of music and comedy. There were several famous obituaries for us to mull over for various reasons -- lives that meant a great deal and deaths that gave everyone a reason to reflect. Let's do a recap, shall we:

Hideaki Sekiguchi (aka Billy Bass Wolf), of the band Guitar Wolf, 38. Cause of Death: Heart Attack.

Derrick Plourde, founding member of Lagwagon, 33. Cause of Death: Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound.

Paul Hester, drummer for Split Enz and Crowded House, 46. Cause of Death: Suicide by Hanging.

Mitch Hedberg, comedian, 37. Cause of Death: Heart Attack (pending an autopsy).

Johnnie Cochran, famous defense attorney and founder of The Cochran Firm, 67. Cause of Death: Brain Tumor.

Terri Schiavo, center of controversial Right-To-Die case, 41. Cause of Death: Mercy.

Honorable Mention: Pope John Paul II, leader of the Roman Catholic Church, 84. According to a report I saw on CNN, he died this afternoon. According to the Vatican, he's still alive. Surely the truth is out there somewhere.
