Whenever someone already iconic dies very young they often become even more iconic and in our memories they stay young forever, because we never saw them age.

There's also the feeling that their lives and achievements have never been completed and I think that somehow creates a greater need to hold on to their memory, dedicate things to them, contribute good acts on their behalf etc., because they never got the chance to fulfil everything they could have done themselves!

This post was selected to be featured because @BonnyHoneyBunny touched on an excellent point that extends far beyond the life and death of Pribcess Diana (which I have bonded in her quote above).

Feel free to respond to the comment outside the context of Diana's life directly in this thread.

In recent years we have seen the tragic deaths of several iconic young people: Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, to name a few. Their deaths made the news for weeks (sometimes months) afterward - but none are discussed in such depth as Princess Diana's. What is it that draws someone to continue to ruminate over the life and death of a celebrity or other public figure??
