Squinty Gillman (Part 32: Top Kad)

 Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2021 site lists under 

Kadir Topbaş, 76, politician, Mayor of Istanbul and Beyoğlu (1999–2004) COVID-19.

His first and last names are additions to the recent “First 3 Letters of Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster,  and so making “kad” and “top”.  Note the etymology:  

kad- Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to fall."  ... see cadaver 

Note from his Wikipedia page: 

• Kadir Topbaş (8 January 1945 – 13 February 2021)

Note the “February 8, 10, 12(x2), __, ... 24/ Even Day, Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  See my previous post for the two February 12. The one who stands out the most is Burhan Dogancay, not just because of his birthday ,butt because of the “bur dog” in his first and last name.  And one again, the birthday of my son in law— April 17 crops up.
