A 3rd Leo Celebrity in 3 Days Dies Before His Time


 Before My Time by Lol Coxhill coverThe Death's of 2012 site reveals that on July 10Lol Coxhill, 79, English jazz saxophonist, had passed away after short illness.[1]

His first name seemed odd to me, so out of curiosity I went to his wiki page.  Note the following excerpt;  

 Lowen Coxhill, generally known as Lol Coxhill (19 September 1932 – 10 July 2012)[1] was an English free improvising saxophonist and raconteur.

I then did a google search on the etymology of Lowen and at the top of the list was this site and excerpt: http://www.houseofnames.com/loewen-family-crest

The distinguished surname Loewen is derived from the Middle High German “lewe”, meaning “lion.”
So, what are the chances of a third |lion" passing away in the last three days (see previous post).  It's odd that he was given the nickname LOL... Laugh Out Loud .  
Royal Coat of Arms of England (1399-1603).svg

This is what Google brought up in my search of 3 Lions: 
Royal Arms of England (1198-1340).svg

   The escutcheon, or shield, featuring three lions is traced to King Richard I of England's Great Seal of the Realm, which initially used a single lion rampant, or else two lions, but in 1198, was permanently altered to depict three lions pass
