Recently to cope with my never-ending quest to be in Southern California and my wish to learn as much as I can on how celebrities died. I took the liberty and ordered Dearly Departed Volumes I & II. Volume I arrived the last week in the mail so here is the review on Volume I of the DVD series Dearly Departed.
To begin Volume I is hosted by well-known celebrity death buff Scott Michaels. He also owns and maintains the websites Find A Death & Dearly Departed Tours. He is one of the most knowledgeable people I know of who knows his stuff on general celebrity gossip and scandals in Tinseltown. He’s been featured on the TV show E!’s “20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders” and has done a few online radio interviews. In the documentary Scott takes you on a tour of 18 celebrity death sites. Some of the demise of the celebrities featured in the documentary are well-known due to the vulgarity and in some cases perverse ending in their lives.
Combined with morbid humor and interesting commentary which many consider to not be tasteful in respect to the dead celebrity. Scott brings an interesting approach to how these celebrities died by using official documents such as death certificates and hours of research and in a few cases he actually tours the locations of where the celebrities died. His knowledge on how celebrities died and his way of presenting the stories are an interesting combination.
If you’re the type of person who is interested in the way famous people met their untimely demise and have the courage to take it all in based on the way Scott presents his stories. I highly suggest buying Dearly Departed Volume I. He brings his fascination with celebrity deaths and years of research into one delightful sensationally packed DVD.
