Are we talking specifically celebrities to tragically die before their time?



Because I’d say that prolific actors and music stars were more well known worldwide than Kobe.

The trifecta of Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, and Farrah Fawcett within about 48 hours of each other in 2009 will probably never be topped.

There are too many ways to interpret this question.

If this is the question, you have many candidates from Princess Di, MJ, Kobe, John Lennon, Elvis, etc.

Kobe was huge and is fresh on everyone's mind, but I don't think he's the biggest. Princess Diana and Elvis have to be as big as you can get. Elvis has been dead for about 42 years and his house gets over a half million visitors per year. Elvis' birthplace is a museum. Princess Di's death was the only thing on the news for a while when that happened. She was loved just about worldwide. Not trying to take away from Kobe at all.
