The most dangerous career

What is the most dangerous career these days? It seems like being a celebrity is up there in the top ten. I just has not been a good week in Hollywood.

First Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson die on the same day. Now Billy Mays, who made one think everything he sold was fantastic, was found dead this morning.

Studies have already been done on one breed of celebrity is most at risk: young rock stars.

Within half a century, nearly 100 rock starts have died, according to the BBC news. On average, US rock stars die at the age of 42 and those from Europe usually die at the age of 35. 25% of these deaths is linked to drug and/or alcohol use. Excessive behavior could also be a contributing factor.

FYI: the average American usually dies at the age of 78.

At least with this week's celebrity deaths, there is only one star the public is looking at and his possible irresponsible use of prescription drugs. That one star is the rock star.
