Female wrestler died yesterday too. Picked wrong day to go cause Prince has been all over the news.
Added Chyna is. I copied off sky news article, wonder why she wasn't in it....
Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) the other day as well.
There were a number of deaths in Dec 2015 as well, but if you're going to stick with 2016 you can add
Maurice White Feb 6 2016 Singer songwriter musician and founder of Earth Wind and Fire.
I only recognise 4 people from that list. Does that make me ignorant or would Australians probably not heard of some of them?
Prince, Alan Rickman, Doris Roberts and David Bowie.

Also, Gary Shandling is missing from that list.

And most of that list wouldn't even be part of the internet or social media "fame" that people think exists.
