Technically isn't Ledger the first of the 3? Thus Saving Samuel Jackson?

I wouldn't say so... Ledger was far too long ago.

Ledger was already part of a group of three. Several people died in that period from famous Ledger to some actress who was on the Newhart show. I'm too drunk to remember the others.

Morgan Freeman survived his car crash so someone else is going to have to take his place. Final Destination law.

Dave Matthews Band sax player dies at 46 from ATV wreck injuries
by The Associated Press
Wednesday August 20, 2008, 6:06 AM
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- LeRoi Moore, the versatile saxophonist whose signature staccato fused jazz and funk overtones onto the eclectic sound of the Dave Matthews Band, died Tuesday of complications from injuries he suffered in an all-terrain vehicle accident, the band said. He was 46.

Moore died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was admitted with complications that arose weeks after the June 30 wreck, according to a statement on the band's Web site. It did not specify what led to his death, and nursing supervisor Galina Shinder said the hospital could not release details.

On June 30, Moore crashed his ATV on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va., but was discharged and returned to his Los Angeles home to begin physical therapy. Complications forced him back to the hospital on July 17, the band said.

The band went on with its show Tuesday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where lead singer Dave Matthews dedicated the entire show to Moore.

"It's always easier to leave than be left," Matthews told the crowd, according to Ambrosia Healy, the band's publicist. "We appreciate you all being here."

Saxophonist Jeff Coffin, who played with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, had been sitting in for Moore during the band's summer tour.

Moore, who wore dark sunglasses at the bands' many live concerts, had classical training but said jazz was his main musical influence, according to a biography on the band's Web site.

"But at this stage I don't really consider myself a jazz musician," Moore said in the biography. Playing with the Dave Matthews Band was "almost better than a jazz gig," he said. "I have plenty of space to improvise, to try new ideas."

Lead singer Dave Matthews credited Moore with arranging many of his songs, which combine Cajun fiddle-playing, African-influenced rhythms and Matthews' playful but haunting voice.

The band formed in 1991 in Charlottesville, Va., when Matthews was working as a bartender. He gave a demo tape of his songs to Moore, who liked what he heard and recruited his friend and fellow jazzman Carter Beauford to play drums, and other musicians.

The group broke out of the local music scene with the album "Under the Table and Dreaming." The band won a Grammy Award in 1997 for its hit song "So Much to Say" off its second album "Crash." Other hits include "What Would You Say," "Crash Into Me" and "Satellite."

Fans who attended Tuesday's concert expressed sadness over Moore's death and concern about the band's future without him. "LeRoi was just super important to the band," Shawn Harrington said before the concert. "That's how the band came to be."

Perhaps Gene Upshaw was the real 3rd person. NFL union head just died at 63 of pancreatic cancer. He's always had a bit of a Samuel L feel about him.

I remember rooting for him and the Titans against the Rams in the Superbowl and being pretty heartbroken at the end, even though I was not a fan of the team.

And even though it didn't work out all that well, I was also pretty happy when he was traded to the Ravens.

looks like he was the victim of a murder-suicide with some 20 year old chick. who was this broad? apparently she and mcnair co-owned a car together. don't want to speculate too much and it's even just possible that she was an employee of his or something.

but i feel awful for his family to have this horrible loss AND the possibility of something else going on too. how overwhelmingly sad for his poor wife and 4 kids.

RIP mcnair.

You were waiting for me Denny so:

Why doesn't he count?

Don't lob him in with the roided freaks/pain pill addicts working for Vince McMahon.

The guy owned his own company - put tons of dudes over and knew how to slow down in the ring so he didn't have to do crazy Swanton Bombs onto ladders and tables to make a buck. Yeah Jeff Hardy - I'm looking at you.

His head simply hit the mat and it was lights out - a move he's taken a thousand times before (which might be the point, eh?)

Misawa wasn't a celebrity here in the states. But like soccer players and Hong Kong action flick stars, I'm sure he was well known everywhere else.

I suppose that's good enough, Misawa makes three (until Steve Garvey dies, then he's off the list )

That would require Americans to assess the damage we do to the planet and to other peoples, nations, the oceans, and all the rest. Not gonna happen.

I just watched a show on Super Jellyfish, about the North coast of Australia and the "CarneNecra(?)" jellyfish (I'm sure I spelled it wrong). They have to net an entire section of beach off, just so people can swim. If it stings you, the venom can kill you in three minutes!

Don't feel bad, your penal colony has made many contributions to the celeb pool in this fine nation. If whoever the dude was whose name I've already forgotten because I never heard of him qualifed to make the list, he'd have been granted a pop culture visa and added to the D list.
