    The Chequered Flag

    If I'm Irish photographer Nic Dunlop, I'm probably checking my pulse right now to ensure we don't have a Dunlop trifecta on this otherwise innocuous July 7th day.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    My best guess is 'no'. Even if she didn't get an obituary write-up, her own family would've assuredly put one in the local newspaper as a paid obit. The best online resource I know for those is legacy.com. Didn't find an entry for her.

    Wrestlers/actors

    Appears to be, from what I've gleaned. Going the other way and figuring out which ECW PPV now has the highest body count is a little difficult, as Wikipedia doesn't have links to all events. However, Ultimate Jeopardy (1996) has to be right up there. All of the following who were on the card are now deceased: Louie Spicolli Doug Furnas John Kronus Mack Danny Kane (Matthew Anoa'i) Bam Bam Bigelow Terry Gordy Axl Rotten Big Dick Dudley Pitbull #2 Nearly one-third of the card.
