The Legendary .......Passed away today!

Yeah, but what did they do?

I was reading Shortlist awhile back and it featured a big article on John Belushi; it had a picture with the Tagline “HE WAS THE EPITOMY OF LIVE FAST AND DIE YOUNG”.

And I remember thinking “No, he was the least funny one on Saturday night live who only did three things of real note...

1. The Blues Brothers
2. The excellent Beatles spoof “The Rutles:  All you need is cash” and...
3. Died

...Which lead to this idea.

What other dead celebs whose suppose legendary life could be summed up by three achievements, the third of which is “Died”?

Along with my homies (Alex Brown, Sally Clabburn, Michael Eyles, Helen Green and Daniel McGorry) we managed to nail quite a few...
