Crime, Conspiracy, Cults and Murder
Ep. 37 | Celebrities You Never Knew KILLED Someone
Wed, 05 Mar 2025
In today's eye-opening true crime deep dive, we uncover a side of stardom that rarely sees the spotlight: celebrities who have killed someone. From car crashes and tragic accidents to high-profile homicides, these stories reveal that even the world’s most famous faces are not immune to dark twists of fate—or the consequences that follow.
Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: How did Matthew Broderick's driving accident lead to fatalities?
He is an American after all, so maybe he just didn't immediately think that he was driving on the wrong side of the road, like, because the roads are opposite there. So he was driving on the wrong side of the road, but it was the right side of the road for him, if you know what I mean. Obviously, not even a little bit of an excuse for what was to happen, but...
you know, arguably that may have been the reason. But because of this error, he had a head-on collision with another car, which killed two passengers, Margaret Doherty, who was 63, and Anna Gallagher, who was 28. And Broderick. did not lose his life, but suffered a fracture to his leg and his ribs, a concussion and a collapsed lung. Getting off easy compared to the other two passengers.
And his passenger, Gray, got severe whiplash. Again, got off extremely easy comparatively. And after the crash, he would obviously be questioned by police, who stated he had no recollection of the crash or why he was on the wrong lane to begin with. And he then was initially charged with causing death by dangerous driving. However, he would somehow avoid this charge.
Instead, he would receive a much lesser punishment for careless driving and fined around $175. $175 for two people's lives. I'm just speechless from that. But a sentence that could have landed him in prison, he instead received just a small fee. A parking ticket fee, basically. And this obviously caused a huge uproar.
absolutely angry, he could get away with something so serious with the equivalent of a f***ing slap on the wrist. And you could still find posts making fun of him and calling him a murderer, which I don't think he meant to murder anyone, but he was careless, and by doing that, he killed two people.
But anyway, this somehow did not halt his fame at all and he would continue to star in hit movies like soon after. And one of, if not his biggest movie of our childhoods, he would play adult Simba in The Lion King in 1993. Like one of the biggest movies to happen in the 90s. His career now has slowly faltered. He's still obviously in some big movies and is still acting, but he's now in his 60s.
And this is one of the deaths on the list that is really crazy to me. Maybe it's because he was in Ireland, so the courts were just more lenient. I don't know how the judicial system works over there necessarily, but it is extremely weird to me why they would give him such a small fine. especially as such a successful actor. Maybe, maybe that's why, which is just even more sick.
But again, just incredibly sad. But that is what happened. And that is Broderick's story. And now we move on to Sid Vicious. In the mid 1970s, London's punk scene became the crucible for one of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock history. John Simon Ritchie, later known as Sid Vicious, found himself at the epicenter of this cultural revolution.
Despite his limited musical prowess, Vicious' charismatic presence and embodiment of punk's rebellious spirit quickly propelled him to the prominence within the movement. And Malcolm McLaren, the astute and often provocative manager of the Sex Pistols, recognized the potential in Vicious's raw energy and persona.

Chapter 4: What tragic events surrounded Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen?
And estimated to be going between 38 to 46 miles per hour, Jenner would rear-end house Lexus, pushing her into oncoming traffic. And the Lexus was then struck in a head-on collision by a Hummer, killing Kim Howe on the scene. And to make matters worse, Jenner also hit that Prius that was in front of Howe.
And with no injuries at all, Jenner stayed at the scene knowing that this was very, very serious. Police would then force Jenner to take a sobriety test and would question her. However, Jenner was not intoxicated and surveillance footage showed that Jenner was neither texting nor using her phone whatsoever.
And I'm not sure exactly how they would tell this from video, but I guess it was slowed down, but... What do I know, you know? So she was in her legit legal right, but despite it, she was given criminal charges. And in September 2015, the LA District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against her, stating that there was no gross negligence and lack of criminal intent.
Although this was not charged federally, Jenner was part of three civil suits from each of the vehicles. one of the stepchildren from Howe who had no living relatives, the Prius owner, Jessica Steindorf, and the Hummer driver. And all of these were settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. But we later learned that the Hummer family, that of the Wolff-Melisys, sued her upwards of $800,000.
No doubt an amount that would help pay off the emotional toll of being involved and the death of Kim Howe. So it seems as though money just fixed this entire situation. And it was shoved under the rug. I mean, it was in the tabloids, but I mean, I never even heard of it. And I was alive during all this. I was an adult. So, I don't know. It smells fishy, but I can't. I don't know.
I don't know anything. I'm just a reporter. I'm just the middleman. I'm just telling you all the facts. And next up, I believe a lot of you will be familiar with if you're around my age, you know, 10 years younger, 10 years older. I feel like you would have seen this guy's face before, but it is Phil Lewis. Born on February 14th, 1968, he began his career acting in various films and shows.
However, his career would be cemented into fame by his performance on the popular Disney Channel show, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, one of my favorite shows as a kid. as the character Mr. Mosby, the hotel manager for the location of the show, the Tipton Hotel.
And the show was so successful and able to have around three seasons that it eventually was continued through a spinoff, The Suite Life on Deck, which also one of my favorite shows as a kid, which was a majority of the same cast except on the cruise ship named the S.S. Tipton. And this show also ran for about three seasons and he would continue to work on other projects as the time went on.
And he was able to direct some episodes of The Suite Life and even directed episodes of the alternative shows such as Ant Farm, Austin and Ally, Good Luck Charlie, Kickin' It, and Jessie. So very prominent in the Disney world. So he was a staple of many childhoods, including my own. And there were frequent moments in that show that many can reference back to. For me, it was the Prindle scene.

Chapter 5: How was Caitlyn Jenner involved in a fatal car accident?
of rfks would leave the party with him anyway the two would leave the party together and supposedly they were driving back on the ferry dock so she could get back to her hotel and instead of the main road he drove her down a narrow and dangerous unlit dirt path he then suddenly lost control and went off the bridge into the pond below the car flipping upside down into the water and submerging his passenger and he was able to escape but his passenger continued to be trapped
Mary Jo. And according to himself, he dove in seven or eight times hoping to save her, but couldn't get her from how the vehicle was situated. He then decided to swim to shore and left, just left the scene, leaving Mary Jo Capincini behind to die. And he just would return back to his hotel like, like nothing ever happened.
So like you may think, like maybe he's in shock, you know, maybe it's a hereditary situation, you know, the backseat, Girl dies, gets decapitated. Don't know if you've seen that movie before. Highly recommend watching it. But he just doesn't tell anybody and he's just in shock the whole time. So maybe he's in shock. Maybe he just, he doesn't, he just, he'll let everybody know in the morning.
But no, he doesn't. He just went back to his hotel and just still didn't report the accident that happened. Not until two fishermen supposedly spotted the upside down car and called the police. So it wasn't him that contacted the police. It was two fishermen. And this is what's... up, okay?
According to investigators studying the scene, an air pocket was discovered, which would have gave Kepenchny enough time to survive if authorities were called immediately and not, you know, you just go into your hotel and just not telling anyone. So he literally had a chance to save her and didn't.
And on July 25th, a week later, he pled guilty to leading the scene of the crime and he was sentenced to two months in jail. And if you think that wasn't a lot of time, the sentence was actually just suspended altogether and he just served no time. justice.
And knowing this would damage his career, instead of leaving the Senate, he continued to run and stated he would run for re-election the next year. And in 1980, he would run for president. However, his life had been stained with his career-destroying story, which ultimately led to a dominating defeat.
But still, he did do well in the Senate and unfortunately passed away from brain cancer on August 25th. But the entire topic is debated if it was a deliberate murder or if he was hiding something. Was it an affair? Did he have secrets to hide? We just don't know and I don't think we ever will. So again, extremely unfortunate. Now, last but not least, or maybe least, I don't really know.
Last and unfortunately, we have someone who I'm assuming everyone knows, and one of the most recent ones, which is Alec Baldwin. And if you don't know who Alec Baldwin is, his real name is Alexander Ray Baldwin III. That's a lot of names. And he was born on April 3rd, 1958. And rose to fame in countless movies. He has that certain look and tone that stands out in movies. At least for me.
