Ohmigosh! That's terrible! I was 15 when my father died of a heart attack at home. Me, my mother, my brother (then 10-years-old), and my sister (then eight-years-old) were all in the house at the time. I had to rush through the dining room where dad collapsed and mom was kneeling next to him so I could let in the paramedics. My siblings and I had to sit in a bedroom while the paramedics did what they could for him and took him away in the ambulance. My mom, siblings, and I had post-traumatic stress disorder from the whole thing for a very long time.

Mr. Henson's family will be in my thoughts and prayers. R.I.P. Mr. Henson.

Rest in Peace!

That is just sad to hear, and at such a young age.

:cry: A sad day for Muppet fans. First the father, now the son. RIP.
This is DisneyFTW1, a former Youtube account that was terminated by Disney themselves. My current Youtube Account is FilmFTW2 (FilmFTW1 was terminated). Youtube sucks when it comes to film uploads, and it sucks even more when major corporations are following your channels. But what can I do?
