Remember the Flash Crash? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Flash_Crash Also, from this link: http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2015/05/famed_a_beautiful_mind_mathematician_wife_killed_in_taxi_crash_police_say.html it appears that neither he nor his wife wore seatbelts.

Guest Guest Posted May 24, 2015 It was me who recommended John Nash in the ideas and suggestions thread last year... yes, it really was me, but since I'm a lurker/guest I have no way of proving that to you... I suggested him because of his age and history of mental illness - I didn't imagine for a second that he would go like this! RIP John Nash and his wife - and another successful hit for the DeathList, which has been struggling this year so far. Will you listen to my suggestions again in future if I can predict hits like this? People are saying this is the first un-natural death that's been a hit in the history of DeathList? Really?

Guest awesome guest Posted May 24, 2015 He was a brilliant contribution to science its weird that he died in a car accident I thought if anything he would die of heart failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted May 24, 2015 Is that the first unnatural death in DL history? Kudos to the selection committee, regardless. Yes, definitely the first unnatural causes death in DL history Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted May 24, 2015 People are saying this is the first un-natural death that's been a hit in the history of DeathList? Really? What about Kenny Everett and the other AIDS victims. Is that really so natural? The way it takes people out is so brutal it seems more akin to some biological weapon to me... (whether you wanna believe in conspiracies or not). I think this is a bit of a stretch. Not as much as an Australian playing a genius, but still. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted May 24, 2015 Looks like deaths are coming in bunches in 2015.9 days between Nimoy and Simon, 9 days between King and Nash.In other news, the comittee has caught up to me with 4 deaths so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is an undeniable irony about that.I suppose it backs up the view that academics are not equally gifted in common sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 872 Posted May 24, 2015 Is that the first unnatural death in DL history? Kudos to the selection committee, regardless.I thought Saddam Hussein would be one but he was not included in 2006. He was present in the 1991 list at number 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"other things" they probably wouldn't have developed if they didn't have AIDS........ e.g. their eyes might fall out if they were rollin them as hard as I am right now. Since it mostly comes after wild amounts of unprotected sex I'm gonna call it misadventure, so screw ya. Fuck Wikipedia anyway, they don't even have Al Gore on their list of conmen. Or Michael Moore on their list of mountains. Or Al Gore on their list of mountains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was present in the 1991 list at number 4. I think what is meant is that the case of John Nash here is the first unnatural death that was a hit in DeathList history. Others who had been on the DeathList in previous years (Saddam Hussein) had later died unnatural deaths, but were not on the DeathList in the year they died, so they were not a hit.

Only time that happened to me is I was one day in 2007 just randomly looking up Yvonne Decarlo (Lily Munster) on Wikipedia and I refreshed the page for some reason and all of a sudden there was a death date. It was like woah thats a bit creepy she wasn't dead when I opened the article, but she was dead a couple minutes later. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
