Haunting Photos Of Celebrities Who Had Open Casket Funerals

River Phoenix

In the early 1990s, River Phoenix was the “It” boy of Hollywood. He had it all: looks, fame, and youth. Many believe his career would have soared to massive heights if he had lived longer. Sadly, Phoneix partied far too hard one night and it took his life. While out with his girlfriend Samantha Mathis, along with his siblings Rain and Joaquin Phoenix, he visited Johnny Depp’s club the Viper Room. Depp was reportedly present and was onstage at the time of the incident. Phoenix overdosed on cocaine and morphine. Sadly, he could not be revived and he died at the age of 23.
