DAYS OF THE DEAD: CELEBRITY DEATH CALENDAR

DAYS OF THE DEAD: CELEBRITY DEATH CALENDAR

PHILADELPHIA (Wireless Flash) -- Now here's a morbid way to celebrate the new millennium -- a calendar filled with the death dates of famous folks. The so-called "Stairway to Heaven" celebrity death calendar is being produced by a Philadelphia radio station as an alternative to all those calendars which feature celebrity birthdays. Scott Segelbaum of WMMR radio says he uncovered all sorts of interesting trivia while putting together the calendar, such as the fact that the Singing Nun died of a drug overdose and that two rock stars died from choking on their own vomit in 1980: John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and Bon Scott from AC/DC. The calendar also reveals that New Years' Eve is a bad day for plane crashes: both Ricky Nelson and baseball great Roberto Clemente went down on that day. The free death calendar is being given away at the station's website: http://www.wmmr.com
