Pneumonia. I remember this because my doctor sent me to get an pneumonia shot right after that and one of her arguments was that people die of pneumonia the way Jim Henson did--fast and hard--and he likely had a better hospital team than I would.

I don't know why that sticks with me. It was the same day that Sammy Davis Jr. died and that was sad as well but we knew Sammy had been fighting cancer. But Henson was just so out of the blue and maddening because he didn't get help until it was too late. I guess, if nothing else, there is a lesson there.

Jim Henson actually had a very virulent strep organism causing his pneumonia and sepsis. It's not unusual for that infection to result in rapid death even with prompt and appropriate medical attention.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ted Lasso actor Anthony Head has died.

That one hits as bad as Catherine O'Hara did. I was a huge Buffy fan back in the day. Anthony's wife died about 6 months ago, I can't help but think his broken heart exacerbated the pneumonia complications. Condolences to their daughters, losing both parents in such a short amount of time is awful.

Oh, no! Giles was one of the best things about Buffy.

Also, those Taster’s Choice commercials were a joy to watch. ️

I cried when I heard the news about Tony Head. BTVS was such a big part of my young adulthood.

I had no idea. Small world and from what everyone is saying about Mr. Head is that it was a better place with him in it. RIP
