Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site lists under todays date, a notable person who stands out, first because of his surname, and then information from his wiki page:
- Ken Reid, 69, Northern Irish journalist and political editor (UTV).[4] (death announced on this date)
- He was succeeded by Tracey Magee
- he was awarded a Queen's University Belfast Chancellor's Medal alongside Stephen Grimason
His surname, Reid, is meaningful to me personally because I’m presently embroiled in a legal case for property division as a result of my partner and I splitting up after 27 years and where I am a self represented party, and where my partner is represented by her lawyer, Jennifer Reid.
Also keep in mind that the surname is an addition to the “Remove a letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster... in this case we get two words “rid” and “red”. We turn now to the two notable persons mentioned on Ken Reid’s wiki page, note to the following information on Magee and Grimason:
- Tracey Magee (born March 27, 1969)
- Stephen Grimason (27 March 1957– 28 April 2024)
Their birthdays generate a “March 27(x2)” pattern cluster. This is a prompt to investigate the March 27 wikipedia page, using the formula we arrive at four from the Births Section and 7 from the Deaths section... and I added one extra from the deaths section because it “fits” in cryptic fashion.
