In a tragic turn of events, actress Keisha Nash Whitaker, 51, died suddenly, and the entertainment industry is in mourning. True Whitaker, her daughter, confirmed the news in a moving Instagram Story where she said goodbye to her mother. The public and Keisha's followers are in a state of shock and mourning since the reason for her death is yet unknown. Keisha Nash Whitaker's life was extensively connected to the film industry. She met her future husband Forest Whitaker on the set of the 1994 movie "Blown Away," in which she was cast as the character's girlfriend. The couple's love story took off, culminating in a proposal the following year and a happy wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica in 1996.
Braugher, the Emmy-winning star of such shows as Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Homicide: Life on the Street, and Men of a Certain Age, died on Tuesday at the age of 61 after a brief illness, his publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed. No further details were provided. Illinois native Braugher rose to fame in his role as Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC drama Homicide: Life on the Street, which ran between 1992 and 1999. He scooped an Emmy Award for his role in 1998. The revered actor's storied career saw him most recently achieve immense popularity as the deadpan, no-nonsense Captain Raymond Holt in hit comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, starring alongside Andy Samberg for the show's entire eight-season run. Braugher won two Critics Choice Awards and received four Emmy nominations for his role.
As fans flocked to social media to mourn Braugher's death and discuss the joy he gave them through his varied roles, there was an immediate wave of cynicism from a number of vaccine skeptics. Claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause health problems or increase the chance of death are often made by groups opposed to vaccination and used in conspiracy theories concerning supposed population control. Many anti-vaccination activists have attempted to link deaths among athletes and other notable figures to being vaccinated—especially those who otherwise appeared healthy before having a cardiac arrest. The phrase "died suddenly" has become a dog-whistle for such assertions. Linking Braugher to such unfounded claims, conservative TV and radio show host and conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root waded into the conversation by claiming he had seen an unprecedented number of deaths since 2021. "Hollywood actors dropping like flies," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Does anyone bother to ask, 'Was he vaxxed?' It's [a] hairless question. But like brain injuries w/NFL players, we need to know if there's a pattern. I've never seen so many deaths. Ever. Only since vaxx in 2021. Pattern?"
