Recently, Reddit user lammastide posed the question , "Which lesser-known celebrity death really affected you/do you think about often?" to the people of r/popculturechat. Here were their devastating responses: Warning: Mentions of child abuse, assault, domestic violence, and murder. 1."Nelsan Ellis aka Lafayette from True Blood.
