Bill Paxton RIP

[Theowl32]

He was one of those underrated but great actors. I also read he was a very genuine friendly guy in person.
Sad. RIP I wonder what type of surgery it was.

Apparently heart surgery. Some kind of bypass. I think he had a stroke recently.

As a young boy he was in a crowd at an event in Texas and saw JFK the day he was assassinated.

Bill Paxton RIP.

He was blessed with a full life, and can rest easy now.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Yep, that's the line I remember most!

What's going on ??????

This is true bummer.

He was a great actor.

I pretty much figured a movie would be good if he was in it.

61 is too young to go nowadays. I could give two shits about his celebrity status. R.I.P. Bill Paxton.

Any surgery has unpredictable risks that can be deadly. That's why it's best not to go under anesthesia and have a surgery. Hospitals nowadays are death traps.

^^^ I get what you are saying, but a person could die any way if they don't have surgery. To me, if there's going to be a bad ending one way or another, what is trying to stay alive going to make you lose?

God bless you always!!!
