Amy’s ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, blamed himself for her fate and reportedly, he was only able to visit her grave three years after her passing.

Christopher Reeve, 52, 1952-2004

Many of us know Christopher Reeve as the titular character in the original "Superman" movie. However, the actor also starred in other movies like "The Bostonians," "Street Smart," and "Rear Window." Having been bitten by the acting bug at nine, he didn't waste time joining the theater community as a child. He can be considered one of the most dedicated actors to his craft but what made him even more admirable for his activism, championing human and environmental rights. Reeve also released two autobiographies, "Nothing Is Impossible" and "Still Me." As much as he was good at what he did, he wasn't invincible and passed away in 2004. 

Prince Philip, 99, 1921-2021

He may not have been king, but he was well-loved by his queen, children, grandchildren, and the general public. So Prince Philip really wasn't missing out on much without Kingship. He also lived a pretty eventful life, which included fighting his own family during World War II, since he was originally Greek-Danish, but fighting for Britain. He did receive the title Duke of Edinburgh, and in this capacity, he did 22,219 engagements and appearances and 5,493 speeches in his career. He passed away in April 2021, two weeks before his 100th birthday. He used to accompany Queen Elizabeth during her outings so he is definitely missed by their fans.
