So Sad

Our heart goes out to Helena Bonham Carter's family.

According to reports, four people who died in a South African car crash are understood to be relatives of the British actress.

The victims were on a safari holiday when the vehicle they were travelling in reportedly lost control and overturned on Wednesday.

Three of the dead were named by sources as 14-year old Marcus Egerton-Warburton, his grandmother, Brenda Bonham Carter, 74, and step-grandfather Francis Kirkwood, 75. At least two other members of the same family are believed to have sustained injuries in the crash.

Marcus's mother, Fiona Bonham Carter, is believed to have suffered a broken collar bone while his brother, Piers, received whiplash.

We can't imagine what the mother of the deceased 14-year old is going through.

Too, too sad.

Re: arsenal – I agree…to lose ONE family member is horrible, but…to lose 5, at once, is just beyond comprehension and words.
Considering that most people have no more than 10 people, in their immediate family….grieving for 5 loved ones, is like losing half of your family.

Re: tellin ya what I know – 'Survival of the fittest' does NOT apply to car, airplane and train crashes.
When you are strapped in, to a moving vehicle…it does NOT matter how muscular (i.e. FIT) or knowledgeable you are, when it comes to the area and terrain. Nor, does it matter how much survival training you have received.

I'm surprised you didn't make fun of her clothes first. This really doesn't feel heartfelt considering how you rag on her all the time. She's far more interesting than the other fame whores you preach about on this site, like those sluts from the Hills.
