Stats re Jan 15 birthday of Notable persons

Taken from Wikipedia's January 15 site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_15), these are the list of those born on January 15th and who died between 1905-2013.  Note I have grouped the ones who died in the same year (brown for groups or three or more), note of the 2013 notable deaths, one appears to be missing-- George Lowe (he also does not have a wiki page although Wikipedia does list him on their Deaths in 2013 site).  This gives you an indication of how rare it is for 2 sets of 3 notables born on January 15 passing away within a few weeks... it simply hasn't happened in any other year than 2012 and 2013.
