16 Dead Famous People And Their Shocking Last Words

“I finally get to see Marilyn.”

The legendary Yankees slugger was married to Marilyn Monroe for less than one full year, but she left a lasting impression on him. They were married briefly in 1954, but despite their breakup, DiMaggio always loved her. He claimed her body when she died in 1962, and took care of the funeral arrangements. When Joltin’ Joe passed away in 1999, thiry-seven years later, his last words were about his former wife.

“I’m going to the bathroom to read.”

“Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.”

The founder of Apple and technological visionary was considered by many to be a modern genius. He was also a well-documented jerk. Despite being the brain behind revolutionary computing ideas, like the iPod and the modern smartphone, Steve Jobs wasn’t smart enough to trust the advice of doctors when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He ignored their treatment options and tried to battle the cancer himself, with a mixture of diet changes, herbal medicines, and acupuncture. He died in 2011, at the age of 56.

“Please, please leave the room if this will affect you.”

The Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer may not have been famous before his death, but he certainly was after it. After being being convicted of political corruption, Dwyer scheduled a news conference — presumably to announce his resignation from office. Instead, he read a final speech and then pulled out a .357 and shot himself in the head on live TV.

“Excuse the blood.”

Per Ohlin, the lead singer of the Swedish death metal band Mayhem, had a flair for the dramatic. His stage name was simply “Dead” and was known for loud music and ghoulish makeup. He also had a long history of self-harm and depression. He slit his wrists and throat in 1991, leaving a suicide note that began with the apology “Excuse the blood.”

“It’s better to burn out than fade away.”

The man who helped pioneer the grunge music sound quoted another musician in his suicide note. That’s a line from Neil Young’s “Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)” that Cobain included as his last words before shooting himself in 1994. It’s hauntingly accurate, as Cobain and Nirvana went from being one of the biggest bands in the world to simply not existing overnight.

“Kurt Russell.”

This one remains a mystery to this day. The man who was responsible for the creation of Disney scribbled down the name of then-child actor Kurt Russell on a piece of paper as his final communication in 1966. His family couldn’t figure out why, and even Russell himself says he doesn’t know the significance.
