Famous Celebrities Who Barely Escaped Death

50 Cent

Famously, 50 Cent was almost killed in 2000 when he was shot nine times in close range. He was hit in the arm, hand, hip, legs, chest, and his left cheek. His voice was slurred as a result, as well as a swollen tongue and missing wisdom tooth. He spent thirteen days in the hospital recovering. The attacker was allegedly Mike Tyson’s bodyguard, but he was killed soon after and was never tried.
