Do deaths come in threes, or just celebrity deaths?

[Piecey]

Mine were kinda spread out, but it happened it in 3s.

My Aunt died July 13th 04, my grandfather died on Christmas morning 04 and the other Grandfather died March 19th 05.

Well the 3 theory happened in my family. My Aunt died in December; my dad died in January and my grandmother died in March. It was a very difficult time.

Many wonderful people associated with film and music die all the time. We only hear about the superstars. I always make sure I watch the Emmys and Oscars each year to see who we've lost. Every year, I am saddened by the loss of another great character actor, director or musician. Many, I recognize and have enjoyed their work, but would not be able to tell your their names.

I don't believe in the 3 death thing.

Well, I think the three deaths are supposed to be really close together and David Carridine died at the beginning of June, so I don't think he'd be included in the 3 deaths theory.

Well, he would, but just not this group of three perhaps. However, that leaves him as an example of a group of one, thereby still contributing to dispelling the groups of three myth.

Yep, at least, in my recent experiance.

Lost my friend, Kim 5/1/09.

Two weeks later, a man from her neighborhood died in a freak accident. That same night, an alumni from Kim's and my school fell off a balcony and died on impact. Three deaths, same community (two from the same neighborhood!) within a two week span.

They don't die in threes! Not regular people, not celebrities. Nobody dies in threes. It's hogwash.

I had this conversation 18 bojillion times with my mother, who always bought into this stupid idea.

THEY DON'T DIE IN THREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (there just aren't enough exclamation marks.)

Ok let's see if I have this straight, people don't die in threes???????

I thought it came in 4's or 7's.

 

[HeyIt'sMe]

Back in 2000 we had three deaths within two months - - all relatives of DH - his grandmother, great uncle and an aunt.

 

[GOOFY4DONALD]

Wouldn't Dvvid Carradine bring the total to 4 and blow this theory of 3's out the window?

David Carradine died in the beginning of June. There was a blue's musician (famous but I did not know his work) and another, musician I believe, that died within days of D.C.

Well, he would, but just not this group of three perhaps. However, that leaves him as an example of a group of one, thereby still contributing to dispelling the groups of three myth.

I think that he (Carradine) would be in the three with Bea Arthur.

It is a little odd that 3 icons passed away in less than a week.

But I also subscribe to the bad things in 3's theory....happens all of the time to me. The world is going along great and BOOM, BOOM, BOOM and then time to recover and recoup....and the cycle happens again. But good things happen the same way!

Hmm....2 days ago we lost one of our baby birds from the nest in our garage...then a day later we lost one from the nest out front, and just today I noticed that a third baby bird is dead...the theory must be true.

The Dead People Server would be a great resource for validating this ... they can map query hits (to establish who's really what level of celebrity) against death dates...

Do bad things come in 3's as the saying goes? Nope, people find the three things that fit and make it seem that way.

yes they do.




Just be glad kittens don't adopt you in 3's.
