Backing the death train up several months, this is one that somehow slipped under my radar:

On December 3, 2015, Scott Weiland, frontman of Stone Temple Pilots, was found dead on his tour bus. He died from a massive drug overdose after a long battle with substance addiction, cardiovascular disease, and hepatitis. He was 48.

And now, for this week's death notices. As usual, please see Wikipedia for a complete list of notable 2016 deaths.

Four days ago, Carrie Fisher survived a heart attack and the world breathed a sigh of relief that we would not end 2016 with such a drastic and devastating loss.

Today, she died.

For everyone who grew up with Star Wars, this...this is just the absolute worst possible way to end what has been the single worst year in modern history.

William Christopher, best known for his portrayal of Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H, passed away today at 84.

The final Weekly Death Blog of 2016 will follow in a few minutes. At this point, I don't care if somebody else dies in the next few hours. I've had it. I'm sick of reporting this shit.

Listen, Pinkie Pie's character has been very criticized and really dumbed down ever since Fimfiction started, and I feel it's my power as a denizen of the internet to correct these wrongs.

So when we die, we basically become like fictional characters, alive only in words, pictures, and memories.

Woah man. 5am deep thoughts.

2016 has seen many treasured and beloved celebrities pass away. In the past year, just to name a few, we've lost Carrie Fisher, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, William Christopher, Florence Henderson, Prince, and Muhammad Ali. So many more great people have died in this nightmare of a year.

Man, I just don't know what to tell ya, folks.

This week, some great treasures of the small screen died. And so did one of the most influential figures of modern medicine.

The worst part is I somehow missed all of these until I was doing my weekly round-up. Alan Thicke's death came as a complete shock, as did Bernard Fox's. Both of those happened days ago.

Bernard Fox dying...that hurts. He's one of my favorite character actors from yesteryear.

That's all I have to say about that.

Okay, look, folks.

Prince died. In an elevator. Alone.

It's confirmed this was no suicide. There's no obvious signs of anything unusual other than that he died.

By all accounts, Prince didn't have any sort of drug addiction. Not even painkillers.

So please, you media vultures, you media ghouls, stop trying to create a big dramatic narrative about opiates or Percoset or whatever the FUCK you want to sell papers and ad time with.
