Died on February 29

I took inspiration for this post from Celebrity Death Pile's born on 29 Feb post.

Died on a Leap Year

It's a rare thing, to die on February 29. Not that you'd care...you're dead after all!

But who has died on this auspicious date? We can easily find out by looking at Living or Dead's Celebrities Died on February 29 page. (You can check all sorts of dates on their celebs died on a date page).

So who made this list?

The most famous seems to be Davy Jones in 2012. We can see his Monkees bandmates are all living (at the time of writing).

The rest of the short list are made up of old football and baseball players. And I mean OOOOLD! Rudy the Rifle Bukich was born in 1920 and passed in 2016 at 85 years old. I don't think anyone reading this blog will remember seeing Ernie Courtney (he passed in 1920). But it's great that the information is all there for us to pore over.
