What were the recent celebrity deaths to occur?
The world was already sad enough this morning with the death of Farrah Fawcett piled on top of the recent death of Ed McMahon. I had a conversation at lunch about the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes – you know when a famous person dies, they say celebrity deaths always come in threes. I’m not sure if there’s ever been a statistical study, but based on perception, the rule seems real. Lunch was finished with some casual speculation about who would be the third celebrity to die not really thinking it would happen. I figured if a celebrity died in the next week, that would complete the rule, or maybe David Carradine was the first. Michael Jackson wasn’t mentioned at lunch, but with his death this afternoon, he completed the rule of three. Sources: http://www.digitalcity.
