They say that deaths seem to happen in 3's.....first Don Knotts, then Darren McGavin

[Shutterbug]

I had a grandparent that always said when it comes to famous people that deaths happen in 3's. Anyone heard this?

It never fails.

I don't know if it supposed to happen to famous people only, but I've heard this too When I worked my first job as an RN in a nursing home. I worked graveyard shift for 3 yrs. I did have residents die on my shift, not that many tho. But it seemed it went in 3's when people were dying at the nursing home.

I can't remember what yr, 2002 or 2003, all these famous celebs were dying like flies, this was the whole yr. Maybe the yr. John Ritter died- it seemed every other day someone famous ie musician, actor, etc was dying.

It only seems to happen in 3's because people stop counting at 3 and the next death they start the count to 3 over.

Last time there was a post on this subject, I took a guess at who was next. I was right. I'm afraid to offer an opinion this time around.

So sad. Both were such talented, funny people.

My guess is that Gerald Ford will be heading "home" soon. *sigh*

Kirk Douglas might go...
