I saw this article earlier today and thought about making a post about it, but just didn’t. Now, with the events of today, I just had to look it up again and post it.
Shouldn’t this be “Relatively Famous” people who died on the same day? My guess is that more than MJ and FF left us today.
Let’s call them “Famous people”. They were all famous in their fields.
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper (February 3, 1959)
Sammy Davis, Jim Henson
A little extra sad for us today as a boy in my daughter’s day camp died today as a result of a swimming accident while at camp yesterday.
Scott, my condolences to you and yours.
Scott, sorry man.
I’m sure we’ll all hug our children just a little tighter tonight.
Oh, Scott. My heart goes out to you and your family, and the little boys family. I hope your little one is doing Ok.
Bonnie Parker, Clyde Barrow (May 23, 1934)
DJ,
True they did die the same day, but in the same airplane crash takes away a little bit of the “coincidence” that the others share.
Johnny Cash & John Ritter. Sept 12, 2003.
Yeah I sorta knew I’d get called on that.
I’m so sorry Scott. You and your family and his family are in my prayers.
Sammy Davis Jr. & Jim Henson of Muppet fame… sometime in the late 80’s or maybe 1990
…Were all the camp counselors ignoring him? You might want to avoid going back to that camp.
Thanks for the compassionate replies. We’re fine, but we’ll keep the boy’s family in our prayers. Our family didn’t know the boy, and thankfully by coincidence my girl wasn’t at that outing and wasn’t going to be there the rest of the week anyway. We still haven’t told her yet. I’m sure everybody will be sued. http://www.koamtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=10589636
It’s just been a crazy day.
it is so sad that the king of pop is already dead… we are going to miss him but his music will be remembered forever…
BILLY MAYS
The world is full of billions of people… this same day coincidence is bound to happen, again even.
My prayers to all… famous or not. Life is fleeting.

kayk, be carefull while you sleep, cause there will be ghost pulling your leg. I’m sure you are broke just like the people that sued him him for money. but you know what? go get a job and stop relying on people that have money, because everything we have, is because we worked for it! Michael joseph is gone because of people like you! are you happy now? lots of people misses him and will alway do, specially his kids, be mad at yourself not at the world……find your zen place….. hope you understand….think……we are one after all…..
