Page 1 - Teenage to 59 Years Death Age
Page 2 - 60 Years to 200 Death Age
3rd September 2004
Page 1 is the first part of the general list of dead celebrities. This page features those who died between the ages of 0 and 60 years of age.
Many much
loved celebrities have died or been killed or killed themselves early.
As today would have been Elvis Presley's 69th birthday, It struck me that
it might be interesting to have a page that generates their current age if
they were still alive today. It is interesting to note how many people have
come to an early death at 36.
And to go on a little, It's tragic to relate how many middle aged and older people, have smoked themselves to death. Remember smoking kills half of smokers. Of which half of them die in old age, and the other half die earlier.
