4. Tupac Shakur
There’s more than one celebrity death that gets shrouded in mystery due to inconclusive details that leave fans and police wondering what really happened. There’s also more than one conspiracy theory involving what really happened the night Lesane Parish Crooks (aka Tupac Shakur) was shot.
In a collaboration song done with fellow rapper Richie Rich, Tupac raps, “I been shot and murdered, can tell you how it happened word for word.” The song was released earlier in the year he was shot. When he was questioned once where he saw himself in a few years, he responded by saying, “Best case, in a cemetery.
Not in a cemetery, sprinkled in ashes smoked up by my homies. I mean, that’s the worst case.” Just two months later, Tupac was shot in a drive-by shooting at an intersection in Las Vegas and was rushed to a hospital where he died six days later. However, extremely loyal fans of Tupac believe he’s not really dead and that he faked his death and has gone into hiding.
3. Bob Marley
Bob Marley was many things. A singer. A guitarist. A symbol of Jamaican culture. He stands as one of the most successful recording artists of all time, and is largely credited with popularizing reggae music around the globe. According to his friends and some of his fans he was also a psychic.
Supposedly, Marley divulged the details of his death to his close friends, which are only known to them. One of Marley’s said friends claimed that Marley told him he would die at the age of 36 because that was the age Jesus died. Marley was a devoted follower and advocate of Rastafarianism, a religious movement that was extremely popular in Jamaica during Marley’s time, and his songs were imbued with a sense of spirituality.
In 1977 he was diagnosed with acral lentiginous melanoma, but refused amputation of the infected area because of religious reasons. His health continued to deteriorate over the next few years until the melanoma spread to his lungs and brain, resulting in his death in May of 1981 at the age of 36.
