This took me in an unexpected direction, I love it!

I’m in a morbid group that tracks that sort of thing. We have set rules that it’s within 3 weeks unless two die in the same week then third must be within 7 days of the second. And we only count music stars (any genre but they’re expected to be a name recognizable to the average person even if they don’t listen to that kind of music), and A listers for tv and movies. There are exceptions, like actors who were part of a show or movie that is extremely well known long after. Martin Mull is a great example because he’s so well known from Clue and Roseanne that even though he was never quite as famous as say Donald Sutherland and people didn’t consciously think of or remember him until he died, he was part of multiple things that had a lasting impact on both pop culture and the respective mediums. John Denver is another great example because everyone knows his name and while he was prolific in his genre, most people don’t listen to that kind of music; they only know one song because it’s been brought over to mainstream media.

bless you for these rules

you're right!

July has been on a reaper roll only outmatched by 2016 as a whole, so the measurement parameters do matter.

I've been hyper aware of this superstition since I was a kid because the year before I was born my parents lost a brother, a cousin and a baby all within the span of a month.

I don't know if OP is just American, but it certainly helps to be in a non-American country to bulk up the stats. A Hollywood actor will die, then a singer a few days later and when you're waiting for the third shoe to drop, so will some random footballer no one outside of your country's border knows of will drop as well and suddenly "it always happens in threes..."
