Let this be a lesson to all of you that "Rock n Roll all night, and party everyday." You might only live for three-quarters of a century.

Well, he WANTED to rock n roll all night and party every day . . . . but did he actually accomplish that?  Maybe he died out of frustration, realizing there were two or three days when he DIDN'T party.

Maybe it was just part of the day. Maybe he had obligations.

The condition is satisfied if he parties any portion of the day.  So that's an easy box to check.  But then he's got the challenge of having Rock n Roll ALL night.  Part of the night won't cut it.

Tiktokers don't count as celebrities but Steve Bridges was one of my favorites, just a regular dude from the Midwest who created relatable, memorable characters that reminded everyone of someone they knew.

Died in his sleep last night according to his wife, leaves behind 2 teenage kids. Not sure why this hits different than most other celebs

Doug Martin, former Bucs RB, only 36. Would assume suicide. 

Quote

A former Boise State star, he was a first-round pick (No. 31) of Tampa Bay in 2012 and immediately burst onto the scene, rushing for 1,454 yards and 11 TDs and catching 49 passes for 472 yards and another score in his first season, which resulted in a Pro Bowl nod. At the time, he had the third-most yards from scrimmage as a rookie in NFL history, trailing only Eric Dickerson (2,212 in 1984) and Edgerrin James (2,139 in 1999).

Martin's best season came in his All-Pro year in 2015, when he rushed for 1,402 yards and six TDs and had 33 catches for 271 yards and another score.

Died in police custody. Details unclear at this time

They got a call about someone trying to break into a house at 4:30am..  There’s a lot more to this story that’s missing still.

Just coming here to say this.  He's alive and well and seems to be doing fine - still married with kids, running a State Farm office, etc.

Doug Martin, a former All-Pro running back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, died in police custody early Saturday morning following an incident at a residence in Oakland, California, police confirmed Monday.

Oakland police reported that officers responded to a call about a break-in just after 4:15 a.m. Saturday and encountered Martin.

"Prior to his death, Martin was involved in a break-in at a residence in Oakland," according to an OPD press statement. "While responding officers were attempting to detain him, a brief struggle occurred. After being taken into custody, Martin became unresponsive.

"Paramedics responded to the scene, provided medical aid, and transported Martin to a local hospital, where he later died."

Martin was 36.

His family released a statement Sunday that read: "It is with great sadness to inform you all that Doug Martin passed away Saturday morning. Cause of death is currently unconfirmed. Please respect our privacy at this time."

OPD said that, consistent with department policy, the in-custody death is being investigated by the Homicide Section, OPD Internal Affairs Bureau, the Oakland City Police Commission, the Community Police Review Agency and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.
