Farrah had cancer, Malden was 97. Why the surprise?

Posted by TWuG Jul 1 '09, 18:04

Jackson and Mays are surprising due to the truly unexpected nature of their deaths, but famous people dying isn't any more or less common that average people dying.

Jackson looked like a walking corpse for at least 15 years. He was young but it wasn't really shocking. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:41
I think its more of a timing thing - eag Jul 1, 18:06 3
- Maybe just more recognizable names, but it's an irrelevancy. They aren't dying because they are well known. -- nm - TWuG Jul 1, 18:07 2
  - Jackson is the only reason people started paying this much attention, I think. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:41 1
    - Not hardly -- nm - Stephen Jul 1, 18:48
