KEY POINTS

  • •Scott Adams died on January 13 from metastatic prostate cancer after 'Dilbert' was pulled for racist comments.
  • •Robert Duvall passed away peacefully on February 15 at 95 on his Virginia ranch, remembered for iconic films.
  • •Catherine O'Hara died on January 30 due to pulmonary embolism linked to rectal cancer, confirmed by officials.

In 2026, Robert Duvall went full apocalypse and checked out at 95 on his Virginia ranch, leaving behind his iconic 'napalm in the morning' flex. Scott Adams, the mind behind Dilbert’s cubicle misery and questionable political takes, died of metastatic prostate cancer shortly after 'Dilbert' fled American newspapers post-racist remarks, proving satire sometimes bites back. Catherine O'Hara, Emmy-winning queen of quirky comedy, succumbed to a pulmonary embolism linked to rectal cancer at 71 — a reminder that life’s cruel plot twists aren't just for sitcoms. Hungarian arthouse guru BĆ©la Tarr, director of cinematic glacier-slow epics like the 7.5-hour 'SĆ”tĆ”ntangó,' also bowed out in January. Meanwhile, Valentino Garavani, the man who made bright red the ultimate power color, exited stage left at 93, leaving red carpets a little duller. Lastly, Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down fame, whose 2000 anthem 'Kryptonite' never stopped playing on that one stuck playlist, passed at 47, proving even hits have expiration dates.
