- Go to They Always Come In Three's
I think that it's overhyped myself...After all it seems like every day a celebrity is passing away and they all get linked into groups of three.

Yes, we've all heard that expression, and I think that, in a lot of cases, in just comes down to coincidence. And the only person I remember passing away at the same time as Michael Jackson was Farrah Fawcett, who was over-shadowed by the King of Pop's passing. The same thing happened in 1977. Three days after Elvis Presley died, Groucho Marx passed away, but nobody knew it because The King got all of the press. Putting things into a group of three is easy, but that doesn't necessarily mean that celebrity deaths will always follow that format. Again, it's usually just coincidence.

I did find it interesting that 7 famous people have died on July 4, in history! So, I wonder who the next two will be if it follows the 3's! sam
