Umbreon 01/26/20 4:05:14 PM #6:	Because these are people we are somewhat familiar with. It's not as personal as a friend or family member dying, but it's more personal than a stranger dying. Of course most of us can still feel empathy for strangers dying, but it tends to be a more generic "It's sad that that happened" feeling. --- This is a mobile account, forgive any errors. ~DYL~ 12-18-19: Donald Trump has been impeached. <cite>Umbreon posted [p:933515470] in Why do we ...

A mix of this and the fact that while we didn't know them personally, they were a regular part of our lives. Hell I remember when Eddie Guerrero died. Watched him nearly every week for years. He was a big part of my childhood.
