There is no age to die. Léa Salamé knows this and would have done better to think about it before writing the opposite. Indeed, although she did not want to cause any harm, the journalist should have known that the twittos were going to jump at the chance and point out her “error” when she wrote “37 years old. It’s not an age to die” in tribute to Gaspard Ulliel, who died on Wednesday January 19. Of course, the one who officiates alongside Laurent Ruquier in We are live did not mean that there was an age to leave this world, but that, Internet users did not hear it that way. Especially since a few days before Gaspard Ulliel left us after a tragic skiing accident, it was a 5-year-old girl who suffered the same fate.
Except that this death was not entitled to the same media treatment and that, the twittos do not understand it. They were therefore many to express their anger under the publication of Léa Salamé. “Ah well, so there is an age to die! OK, this death is sad, but why don’t we talk about this 5-year-old girl who died the day before on the next station in the same conditions”, lamented a surfer before letting go: “Do you just have to be rich and famous to have the right to people’s compassion and sadness?” An anger shared by other twittos a few publications later: “You’re right if you have to be rich to talk about their disappearance, this little girl deserved to be talked about too. And it’s very sad… my thoughts are with the family, I share their sadness, rest in peace, little girl Claudia”.
Whether it’s little Claudia or actor Gaspard Ulliel, unfortunately there is no age to leave this world. Whether you are young or old, it will always cause so much pain…
OK, this death is sad, but why don’t we talk about this 5-year-old girl who died the day before on the next station in the same conditions. Do you just have to be rich and famous to be entitled to people’s sympathy and sadness?
