What is this celebrity death pattern occurring?

First, we had Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett die. What did they have in common? They were both olde tyme television stars.

Then, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays died. What did they have in common? They were the greatest entertainers that ever lived.

After that, former boxing champ Alexis Arguello was shot to death, as well as recently retired NFL quarterback Steve McNair. What did they have in common? They were sports stars!

I think we see a pattern beginning to emerge. The next two celebrity deaths will ultimately be of a new occupation or realm of life. Could they be astronauts? Authors? Nature show hosts? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully they're serial killers though, that would be convenient.
