A LOT of people connect to celebs and athletes.
If something happens to them, people have odd reactions. They are like a member of their family. They've been a part of their lives, and even invited into their home (through media).
When Derrick Thomas or Dale Earnhardt died, grown men cried that had never met them. Prime example.
If a famous person succumbs to this, every day Joes are going to feel even more vulnerable.
