Renowned Death Hag
Just wondering how the rest of you found FAD?
I was looking for more info on Albert Dekker's death. One Google search later, I found a treasure trove of info about Big Bad Al and several more celebrities.
Great site, Scott. One of these days I'm coming out to L.A. for your tour.
It was years ago, Scott mentioned he had FAD over in the FAG forum. I checked it out and been there ever since.
I watched the movie Silkwood and wanted to know more about Karen Silkwood
so i googled her name and one of the hits was Find A death ..after that i was hooked
It's been awhile, I think I was looking for stuff about Robert Blake and found the site -- Eureka, gold at last. I've read 'em all...
i was looking at beneath los angeles, and also celebritymorgue.com. that was a few years ago and have been hooked since. i have taken scott's tour twice while in LA for Marilyn's b-day, and it was the highlight of the trip bot hthimes. i plan on doing it again and again.
I was looking for actual pics of the Mason murders, many moons ago and that is how I found it. All I thought at the time was " Where the heck does he get these pics?" Love it!
Just poking the web about death in general.
I was looking for dead celebrity pictures.
Somebody mentioned it at FAG.
FAD Founder
what did you call me? : )
LOL...Scott's a funny man!
I was looking on the internet for info about a celebrity's death. Can't even remember who, now. Stumbled across this site and have never left it alone. Spent days going through the directory. Great info and a sense of humor.
I was also looking for info on the manson murders and got hooked...Scott has helped me while away many an hour online!
A good friend turned me on to this place. Plus, Scotts hot!
Found Scott's site while looking up celebrity deaths. His is the best by far. And his sense of humor, well, let's just say he's like me in that regard. Best of the Web, that's for sure.
I am so addicted to FAD it's beyond a joke. I was looking for info on celebrity deaths, and Scott's site came up. Every time I hear that someone famous has kicked it, I'm straight to FAD.
Pretty much the same way as most of you, I was at work bored and did a surf for celebrity "dead" photo's and came across FAD. I check it out all the time now and have told many people about it!
Scott is awesome!! And he even answers his own emails!!
My sister in law found the site while surfing the net and knowing the fact that I'm so interested in such things she told me about it. I've been hooked since.
was lookin for dead celebs n wound up here n told the world! lol well my world...this forum is the only forum I've ever been in...n if Scott wasn't doing F A D I prolly wood't pay any attention to it
If I remember correctly I found the link on World of Wonder, but I cannot be certain - however, since i found it I have been checking it religiously. I reread everything a couple times.
I really don't recall what I must have googled to come up with it, but I'm so glad I did! As I mentioned on another thread, I was working night shifts a little over 5 years ago at a computer lab so unless someone had an IT problem, I basically got to sit around and play Contra and search the web, so FAD helped me pass maaaany nights (and still does, even without that job!)
I used to love anomalies-unlimited.com but it hadn't been updated in a while. I was trying to find what happened and did a google search on it. I found a website with a link to anomalies and a link to FAD. I was hooked by Scott's sense of humor and the fact that it's not a gross out site like Rotten. if I don't want to look at a picture I don't have to. I'm so hooked on this site it's not even funny.
From his Dearly Departed Tour. My girlfriend and I live in LA and have never done the Star's Map or Tourist thingyz, so we looked up tours and found his. Scott told us about FAD on the tour.
It is worth the every penny or $ by the way!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I was looking for celebrity porn (for a research paper
The Next Level - Video game message board, news, and reviews.

Was looking up Bob Crane after watching Auto Focus and my life has never been the same
I was looking up info on Karen Carpenter.......she had the greatest voice...love it.
My husband calls FAG the other man in my life...
I think I found this in 1999. I think it was a pretty new site. At first I thought it kind of odd.
It was interesting reading John Denver being fish food after the crash. It was like the first story I read!
And yes if anything the dearly departed tour is a pretty cheap price wise...you didn't hear that scott!!!
it was worth the $35 dollars!!!

I found this place just being bored and read most of the deaths on here. I am the kind of girl who loves to read about how famous people die. So I check each week to see whats going on!
I was researching the Helter Skelter incident and stumbled upon it back in 2002...been an addict ever since!!!!
A link on the Snopes message board, with River Phoenix's death picture.
Love the site!
There's a BBC show called 'Click' in the UK, which discusses the internet and tekky stuff. Each week they profile a few interesting websites, and a few years back it mentioned The Death Clock, which estimates how long you've got left to live (tick tock).
Anyway, it also linked to the FAD pages - I read most of them in one sitting! I didn't know it but (at the time) it only linked to a few of the actual entries. I hit the jackpot when I discovered the true number on the FAD website and I've been hooked ever since!!
I have been veiwing FAD for about a year now, and everyone who is in my buddy list, got the link from me. I got many freinds addicted , just like me. I tend to check the site everyday for someone new. If anyone doesn't know about it already there is a site you can go to called the celebrity death beeper. It sends you an email of whenever a celebrity dies, even if you don't hear about it in the news. Heres the link
http://www.deathbeeper.com/
I forgot how I found FAD.
Why I visit every day I do know. It's interesting.
Many many moons ago I was looking for some info on the Sharon Tate Murder and well I stumbled across Scott's ultra fabulous website! So I have been hanging around for years, thanks Scott for letting me.

It was several years ago, I was looking up some celebrity that had recently passed away & Scott's site popped up (aren't we all conected with this morbid facination? lol) . I remember thinking why on earth didn't I know about this site earlier??!. I spent the day reading everything on it and some things twice. I love Scott's wicked wicked humor!
In addition, this has become my filter for celebrity deaths, if it's not on Scott's site then they aren't really dead! lol
I got curious about Andy Kaufman after watching "Man in the Moon" a few years ago so I started surfing the net for more info about him. I came across a copy of his death certificate and fell face first into FAD- been there ever since. Great site!
For those of you who who have commented on Scott's sense of humor on the site, try hanging out with him in person on his Tour. He's a freakin' riot, not to mention a great guy. Get to California and TAKE THE TOUR!!! For those of you in California and haven't been, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???!!!
I was trying to find info on Houdini, namely what hospital in Detroit he had been in and voila, I found FAD and I've been an addict ever since.
What are your favorites? I love the GG Allen one, Jayne Mansfield (man, was she a trainwreck), Gilda always gives me tears. Tammy Wynette cracks me up, her loony husband and his knocked up cheerleader next wife.

It really is like an addiction. As soon as I hear someone died, thats the first place I look. Minor thing though...didn't there used to be more celebs? Could have sworn I saw some listed that aren't listed anymore.Originally Posted by DeathGroupie
The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.
Senior Death Hag
probably on one of my many morbid internet searches. though now i can't remember. but as soon as i found it i forgot what i was looking for and just started *digging up* all the stories about random dead celebrities. it was like a breath of fresh air to find so many interesting stories about things i was fascinated with.
to this day i can still go back and re-read stories and be totally entranced. it's the "other man" in my life
i was on rotten.com and saw some photos of famous dead people and i wanted to get a little insight on them so i clicked on findadeath.com and i went to the site and became hooked.

General web search for morbidity and famous deaths during my lunch break at work about three/four years ago and FAD popped right up.
After seeing the movie "Ray" a couple years ago... I went searching on the internet for more info. FAD popped up and I remember staying up for the next couple of hours (past my bedtime, haha) reading almost everything! I was instantly hooked!
Someone posted the links to the Chris Farley death pictures on thesuperficial.com, so to sate my morbid curiosity I read all the other articles in the next few days, nonstop.
Great question!!
I was bored at work several years ago and searched a celeb on Yahoo. FAD came up. I spent the next few days reading Every single word of the website. I could tell right away that Scott is a cool guy with a great sense of humor. I was hooked.
I found fad about 4 or 5 years ago while looking at either death pics of river phoenix or chris farley... I hate that I can't remember who, but I know it was one of those two. At the time I had just started college and was working at the library with lots of time to kill! between fad and nataliedee.com my nights at the library were quite filled for the first few months! Anyone else here from Georgia?
I was Googling something back in 2005. I have no idea what I was looking for, but for a solid week after the 'find', I was hooked and read EVERY single thing here. I have to admit that after I came to the end of what was available at the time, I was anxious for the next celebrity death!!! It's like the site that keeps on giving. I also am a big fan of Scott and find his writing hilarious at times, especially when he mentions La Liz sending flowers! Har! Scott, did you catch her on The Soup this past weekend?
Oh I did, I thought of FAD then. It was fantastic. I laughed.
FAD Founder
Oh my fuck. Liz on the SOUP was amazing. I used that quote about 20 times this past weekend. LOVE IT
Renowned Death Hag
I did a google image search for the Chris Farley pictures, and I followed the link. I was instantly addicted. As much as Liza is to pills. Anyways i spent 3 days reading every story. You are one lucky bastard Scott. I wish I lived in L.A. There is history around every corner it seems. BTW the forum is great too. Thanks
[SIZE=3]I can't remember now - probably Googling something or someone. All I know is once I found it and started reading it bacame a regular part of my routine. Some really funny, off the wall stuff. I even got my sister hooked on the site and we both picked up the expression, "As you do." - kind of like one of those lines from a favorite film.[/SIZE]
