Which celebrities have been involved in deadly incidents?
Believe it or not, fame and fortune don't always come with a clean slate. Some of the most well-known celebrities have very dark secrets. Oh my god, I can't believe it. And some of these secrets involve very deadly consequences. In this video, we'll be going over some celebrities you may or may not know who have killed people. And some in ways you'd never expect. And some of these were not criminally charged, while others were pure accidents. However, this shows that even accidents have life changing results. Ones that lead to deaths. Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder. All things that I love to consume and I know you do too, you sick, twisted, little, beautiful, intellectually minded freak. And today we are talking about just that.
We are talking about celebrities. We love celebrities. Celebrities, we gobble up. We gobble up all the drama and whatnot, and we idolize them, we look up to them. They're like these anomalies that are untouchable, but even they can make mistakes. So let's talk about it. Without further ado, let's unbuckle our seat belts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes, and bust through this windshield into these criminal celebrities together. Ryan Grantham, originally best known for his work on Diary of a Wimpy Kid to eventually reaching bigger shows like Riverdale, Supernatural, and iZombie.
What is the story of Ryan Grantham and his crime?
However, he would later be known for something much more sinister, and it wouldn't be on a movie set. All right, before I get into this, I need to put my freaking glasses on. I can't see shit. All right, so Grantham lived with his mother, Barbara Waite, who was a very supportive and integral figure in his life. And his father, who was quite absent, left his mother at the center of his day-to-day life. And she was very supportive of his acting life as he started to get larger and larger roles, starting off as a child star in the industry. What could go wrong, right? However, as he got older, it became harder to get more and more roles, as is the business in acting. And this may or may not have inadvertently caused some mental health struggles for Grantham, which we now know from a personal diary that was found. He would write in this diary about how much he hated himself, showing his deteriorating psychological state before the crime was committed.
So on March 31st, 2020 in Squamish, British Columbia, weird shout out to BC right now, Ryan Grantham carried out a premeditated recovery. While his 64-year-old mother was playing piano, he approached her from the back and would shoot her in the head with a .2020 caliber rifle. And this act of cold and calculated murder was something he had rehearsed beforehand. Afterwards, he used a GoPro to film his dead mother on the ground, admitting to the murder in a recorded confession. And he did express regret knowing what he had done and his mind was completely made up. However, that wasn't the only murder he wanted to commit. And this is where it gets crazy. So obviously a very obvious act of remorse, which like... Little too late, little too late.
Then he would go to his car and prep it and fill his car with weapons, ammunition, a lot of cocktails and camping gear. What he had planned was to kill the prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. However, in an unusual change of heart, he instead would just drive aimlessly around with all of the stuff in his car. And eventually, he thought of heading towards Simon Fraser University to do a mass sh- which is just horrifying to think about. But, yet again, Thankfully, he decided not to and began to just drive again aimlessly. And it was much later and he realized that neither of these plans seemed viable. To which he drove himself and turned himself in to the Vancouver police station. And he would tell them that he had killed his mother and they would arrest him. And later in March 2020, he would plead guilty to first degree murder for life. with no chance of parole until 14 years later.
And most of the information before was learned at the court case, including the GoPro video and his diary, which explained his mental health decline and the regret he felt for killing his mother. And the video was around four minutes long, detailing what he was going to do. It's really sad to hear, and it shows he was going through clinical depression in the months leading up to the murder.
