Death in threes, who's the third?

Farrah Fawcett has died. She was one of the 70s icons that's for sure. She's been battling cancer so it's a blessing she's not suffering. I hope that will comfort her loved ones in some small way.
And breaking news is the death of Michael Jackson. There's a lot of mixed feelings about that one. Never been a big fan, though liked some of the 80s stuff but he was just so weird. Then with all the subsequent scandal, which didn't really surprise a lot of people, he's been more or less in hiding. I"m sure he had enough money that he wouldn't have to worry that his career went into the toilet after the trials. I have a bad feeling about this. They don't know what happened, just that 911 was called because he wasn't breathing and was taken to hospital unconscious and they couldn't revive him. I'm thinking overdose of some sort. Maybe illegals, maybe prescriptions. I wonder if it was suicide or accidental like Heath Ledger was. Another thing that crossed my mind, watching some of the footage of him on tv was that he was almost skeletally thin. I wonder if he was anorexic? That could give him a heart attack or organ shut down too.
Edited.... One of his friends is on the phone to CNN and it sounds like Michael has been on medications for injuries and the friend seemed to be concerned about his use of them and had warned him about it. Accidental overdose?
That's two. Now who will the third be? They always come/go in threes.
Edited... he's the third one. Ed McMahon was the first a couple of days ago, then Farrah and now Michael.

He was in his mid 60s, so it depends on your definition of young.
