Does fame make someone special? Does having a certain level of celebrity make their words, thoughts, and actions more important than our own? Those are questions that you can ponder as you read through this interesting, slightly morbid, and enlightening list: the last words of 25 famous people before they passed on.
Michael Jackson
Is there a talent who was more troubled in life than Michael Jackson? We aren’t sure. Jackson, the King of Pop, died of an overdose and his last words were asking for more of the drug, “More milk.” Milk was a name that the singer had given to his drug, anesthetic propofol.
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs is as important to the tech world as anyone who has been alive in the past fifty years. Always an enigmatic person, Jobs went out the same way he had lived his life — in his own style. On his death bed, dying of what had been a treatable cancer, Jobs could only mutter, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” Even the infinite of death could not be comprehended by a genius of his caliber. Strangely comforting yet terrifying at the same time.
