Sacvan Bercovitch RIIP: October Birthdays pattern-cluster (Part 4)

Really, what are the chances of 14 notable persons dying in the last 9 days and listed on Wikipedia's Deaths in 2014 site who were all born during the month of October (butt each on different day)?!

On December 9th, two more were added to the list, both of whom also fall into the "October Birthdays" pattern-cluster:

• Jože Toporišič, 88, Slovenian linguist.
• Sacvan Bercovitch, 81, Canadian literary and cultural critic 

 note from their respective wiki pages:

• Jože Toporišič (October 11, 1926 – December 9, 2014)  
• Sacvan Bercovitch (October 4, 1933 – December 9, 2014)

Note the following from my previous post: 

Two more notable deaths found on Wikipedia's Death in 2014 site have cropped up that are additions to the recent "October Birthdays" pattern-cluster:

• Norman George Robertson Mair (7 October 1928 – 7 December 2014)
• Ion Butmalai (9 October 1964 – 9 December 2014) 

My previous post mentions the following addition to the site: 

• Nedunuri Krishnamurthy (10 October 1927 – 8 December 2014) 

Note as well, so far all the October Birthdays of those who passed away in the last 9 days (since Dec 1st) are not duplicated, and as you can see by the above, we also have a "October 9, 10/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster in the works... one that could be expanded if an October 8th crops up.  

So interestingly enough, with the death of Jože Toporišič , we now have an "October 9, 10, 11, 12" pattern-cluster when considering this next excerpt from the post:

• Peter Furneaux (12 October 1935 – 2 December 2014) 

 Note this next excerpt again from the same post:

In the meantime, note the following excerpt from my recent December 7th post entitled, October Pattern-Cluster In Recent Notable Deaths: 

• 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 

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

So far then, between December 1-9th of 2014, there have been 14 notable persons listed on the Deaths in 2014 site that were also born in the month of October, and all 14 were born on a different day... WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!  That's nearly half the entire month
