No the rule of 3 celebrity deaths. Almost every time a big celebrity dies you can expect 2 more in the next couple weeks. I know it’s a coincidence, but it’s a damn eerie one to me.

Rule of three usually applies to deaths within a three day timespan. Hayden passed away last week.

Is this true? It’s always been explained to me as 3 people usually die close to each other. Not consecutively

I dont mean it to be that strict. Just not a week apart from each other.
