Reports are coming in that Andrew Koenig, son of Star Trek’s Walter Koenig, was found dead in Canada. Andrew played possibly one of the best named characters on a show whose main star was a devout Christian in real life, Boner Stabone, on Growing Pains. His father is reporting that it was an apparent suicide, but the cause of death has yet to be officially determined. Read more at the random news site I decide to link in this sentence.

For those of you who don’t know, Brittany Murphy is dead. It has been determined that Cardiac Arrest is the cause and she was apparently found in the shower. This a newly developing story, so more info is to come. Brittany was in movies such as 8 Mile, Clueless, and Girl, Interrupted. She was 32 years old.

The End of the World , written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee, performed by Skeeter Davis

(song playing when Daisy in Girl, Interrupted, portrayed by Brittany Murphy, was found dead, having commited suicide.)

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t know it’s the end of the world
‘cos you don’t love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything’s the same as it was.
I can’t understand, no I can’t understand how life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world,
It ended when you said goodbye.

(spoken): Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
(sung): It ended when you said goodbye.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything’s the same as it was
I can’t understand, no I can’t understand how life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Oh don’t, don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye.
