2012 death hit Yitzhak Shamir on this day aged 96

How can we not honour Irving Wallace of Book of Lists Fame this day in 1990, aged 74.

Not many people can say their death caused millions of other to die (OK technically no dead person can say anything but you know what I mean) but this man can (and had a band named after him as a bonus).
Franz Ferdinand died this day 1914 aged 50.

The man with an avenue, James Madison, died this day in 1836 aged 85.

But he was my favorite person in the music industry and my heart is broken.
RIP Chris Squire
Sir Creep
Aw, chin up old bean. Don't let it get you down.

the part that surpises me is when the article said he had a friendHe got angry because he didn't get a big sugary cake for his 69th birthday early this month.
So am I actually, it may well have finished off the diabetic charlie.
The tonnage of credulous fools willing to befriend seriously demented criminals is already well recognised. Sutcliffe, Brady et al will have friends for as long as young people have useless parents!
Cult of celebrity I'm afraid. Were any of these people to be exposed to someone with real 'mental health issues' at home/work they'd run a mile.

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, a controversial anti-vaccine physician who suggested that there was a link between vaccines and autism, has apparently topped himself, aged 60.
If there was such a such a thing as weighing up someone's contribution in life positive/negative where would this person go do we think?

Going from the deaths of George Melly to Bill Deedes in 2007 you get 7 deaths in 43 days, so that beats out 2001's sprint by a week...
Aw, Mugabe lives, bugger.

6 in 6 weeks. Come on DL statos is this the most productive (or destructive depending on your point of view, or if you are rleative/friend of teh deceased I suppose) period ever?
In roughly six weeks (cheating by a few days), 2003 saw for Idi Amin, Warren Zevon, Leni Riefenstahl, Edward Teller, Johnny Cash and Elia Kazan.
But I direct you towards 35 days in 2002:
23rd Feb - Chuck Jones
27th Feb - Spike Milligan
27th March - Milton Berle
27th March - Dudley Moore
28th March - Billy Wilder
30th March - The Queen Mum
All Deathlist picks.
I knew you wouldn't let me down. Next bit of homework then, when does the 7th hit have to come for it to be a record?
From BB King to now - 44 days
Between Kramer and Secombe in 2001 - 50 days
Off the top of my head, I think thats the record. Proper stat-folk like Ali might know better though.
Thursday 25th and Mugabe gets it, brilliant!

And on this day 1844 Joseph Smith Jr ascended to the heavens on winged cart made of gold carried by unicorns and a confused owl - or something (I've never made much sense of the Book of Mormon). Oh and he was shot (not quite crucifixion, but what the hey).

Don't think he was in Fast and Furious but I haven't followed the franchise that closely.

Custer gets it in the Little Big Horn in 1876
That's Custer and Cousteau on the same day - spooky coincidence wouldn't you say Sir Creep?

Jacques Cousteau submerged for good in 1997

Tony Hancock no more blood donations after this day in 1968

James Horner, who won an Oscar for his composition of the score for the film Titanic, is missing after his plane crashed.
From sinking ships to crashing planes....
And is indeed dead. What is it about small planes - lethal. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/23/pilot-killed-as-plane-registered-to-titanic-composer-james-horner-crashes

He's been found http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33331698. How do you lose a Blue Peter presenter? Maybe that's an idea for a new reality TV show.
