A celebrity dies.
In the past, this might be marked by candlelight vigils.
With the advent of social media, death (like so many other things) has become an "all about me" event.
While our lives may be touched by celebrities, it is the family and friends of someone who passes who are the ones most touched by their loss.
The wailing and moaning of people on social media pages is selfish at best, distasteful at worst.
Perhaps one day we can return to a respectful way of mourning the loss of those who entertain us.
