      Too lazy to look it up, how does this track with average life expectancy?

      What was the cause of that earlier age death dip around 2016-2017?

      Side note I used to take the calls and type up the obits for NYT in an overnight call center in Buffalo. Some thought nothing of spending 5k on one and the half balked at the 4 line price. I used to say to my mom all the time I was consistently published in the Times. She wasn’t amused.

      Would be interesting to plot birthdate of deaths. Is prominence because a set of people were the right age to ride the wave of media creating prominence? Or is it just proportionally related to birth rates? Or is media expanding their definition of prominence?

      If you use median, it would avoid the potential skewness introduced by a few very young “prominent” who died in a year, which I suspect happened in 2016. You should also report the N in each year.

      Less smoking by prominent people is my guess. Also, drugs like Lipitor.

      If the data source is NYT headlines, something that could explain the dip is that there are other things dominating the news cycle other than “X died this week”
