Celebrities are always under the spotlight and have their photo taken for use in Newspapers, gossip TV shows, and any other platform for which the public can see them. But have you ever wondered whether it might be the last ever photo you see of a particular celebrity?

And by last, we don’t mean that they’re leaving the spotlight to live in a monastery. But last as in their last ever on this earth. We’ve lost many iconic celebrities over the years, this year included. Here we’ve found the last photos of some iconic celebrities who have passed on.

PATRICK SWAYZE, 57, 1952-2009

Dirty Dancing, Point Break, Donnie Darko, and Ghost were just some of Patrick Swayze’s beloved movies as a famed actor and dancer. In early 2008, he found out that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer which took his life a year and a half later on September 14, 2009. His mother, Patsy Swayze, was known as an American film choreographer, dancer, and dance instructor. Because Patrick attended dance lessons with his mother, he was able to meet his wife Lisa Niemi. Lisa helped him finish his memoir, The Time of My Life which was released on the same month that he died.
