The Most Tragic Celebrity Deaths of All Time

Aaliyah

Aaliyah rose to stardom at an early age after she appeared on the TV program Star Search and performed in concert alongside Gladys Knight. She was mentored by R. Kelly, who helped her write and produce her debut album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. There were many rumors of an illegal marriage between Kelly and Aaliyah, who was only 15 at the time.

On August 25, 2001, 22-year-old Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash along with all others on board. The pilot, Luis Morales, had forged his FAA license, and a toxicology report found traces of alcohol and cocaine in his system.
