October Pattern-Cluster In Recent Notable Deaths

There has been an unusual large number (9) of notable people who have died in the last week who also share in common an "October" birthday, note the following:

• Vincent Lee McKusick (born October 21, 1921- December 4, 2014 
• Emma Lou Warner Thayne (22 October 1924 – 6 December 2014)
• Deven Varma (23 October 1937 – 2 December 2014) 

These 3 above, form an "October 21, 22, 23/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Now note these next two:

• Rocky Wood (19 October 1959 – 1 December 2014)
• Arthur Leipzig (October 25, 1918 – December 5, 2014)

All we would need is an October 20th and 24th, which would then expand the above cluster!! 

• Sjefke Janssen (October 28, 1919–December 3, 2014)
• Mario Abramovich (31 October 1926 – 1 December 2014

Peter Furneaux (12 October 1935 – 2 December 2014) 

Aleksandar "Aco" Petrović (October 14, 1959 – December 1, 2014) 

So there were about 60 notable persons listed on Wikipedia's Deaths in 2014 site between December 1-6 and out of that number, 9 were born in October... beating the audds.
