Yes, Sean Connery’s death was 1 celebrity death that I was totally devastated by… next to Robin Williams’ death

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

@@nsasupporter7557 I think it was far worse when Robin left us, Sir Connery was 90 years old so I would say he lived an amazing and fulfilled life and it was just his time to go.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

@@nsasupporter7557 I think that relatives are far more close to me than celebrities, but you may feel different towards your family, I don't know. I just think it's far more devastating with the age and circumstances of Robin's death. I didn't say it wasn't sad when Sean Connery died, I just mean that it wasn't unexpected or unnatural at his age. You seem to think a death like Robin's is about the same as an old person's natural demise, and that's ok. I don't think tho, that my comment earned such personal attack towards my grandparents. We can just agree that we have different opinions. Be well.

[@boozeshmooze6731]

So in 2004 I went to Syria (when it wasn't war-torn), and I went to a Crusader castle up on a hill, I think it was near Palmyra. There was a little cafe by the entrance, and the owner foisted the guest book on me, and I said something like "I can't comment, I haven't even seen the joint yet" and he very specifically pointed out that I needed to look at a comment. And there it was, Sean Connery in his guest book saying he liked the coffee there. He probably took a day trip away from the Indiana Jones set 15 years earlier.

[@capeed5292]

I'm impressed with the entrance! The fact that Connery would agree to use that crotch-killer to do the intro is impressive. Remember, he was nearly twice as old as he was in Thunderball when he last used a prop rocketpack. Pretty sure that WAS a stuntman except for the obvious close-ups with rear screen projection. He went down 20ft on wires at age 63(?). Not a thing to scoff at!

Sean Connery died in his sleep on 31 October 2020, aged 90, at his home in the Lyford Cay community of Nassau in the Bahamas. His death was announced by his family and Eon Productions; although they did not disclose the cause of death, his son Jason said he had been unwell for some time. A day later, Roquebrune revealed he had dementia in his final years. Connery's death certificate was obtained by TMZ a month after his death, showing the cause of death was pneumonia and cardiopulmonary failure, and the time of death was listed as 1:30 am. He was cremated after his death, and his ashes were scattered in Scotland at undisclosed locations in 2022. He died 27yrs after this show. Ref. Wikipedia
