From time to time, it can feel like a lot of our most beloved celebrities and historical figures are dying at the same time. It has happened so often that now people expect famous people to die in threes, even when there's no reason for that.
And while all deaths are equally sad, it's true that some of them get way more media coverage and reactions, especially in the modern internet era. Looking through history, you might notice that some figures didn't get the homages they deserved only because another, more relevant figure happened to die on the same day.
So, here are some historical deaths overshadowed by other, more important deaths.

Prince William has said giving Sir Kevin Sinfield his knighthood, is "probably one of the easiest decisions anyone's ever had to make".
The future King has appeared in an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast to share his personal admiration for Sir Kevin, who recently completed seven ultra marathons in seven days.
Sir Kevin took part in the extreme endurance challenge to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) charities following the death of his best friend and former rugby team-mate, Rob Burrow from the condition in 2024.
"I think frankly he should have been Sir Kevin years ago," said Prince William.
"What Kevin does, is he can bind and glue communities together by being that leader. The more Kevs we have in this country the better."

Death, taxes, and the Dallas Cowboys being no match for the Green Bay Packers in the 21st century.
Much was made about how it had been 10 years (Thursday was the official anniversary) since the Cowboys tasted victory against their longtime rivals. Sunday night offered the next opportunity, and we are all going to have to keep on waiting.
The Cowboys were never really in the game against Green Bay and seemed to be fighting themselves as much as they were the Packers. It is hard to believe that they had the mini bye to prepare for this as they looked as without preparation as a Cowboys team has looked in some time.
Dallas is officially 2-4 after their latest outing and while they have the "benefit" of playing in a down NFC East… they in no way look like a team that you can trust right now. In fact, they looked like that last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and only corroborated that notion at Lambeau Field.
This is a really tough moment for a Cowboys franchise that has experienced several of them within the last 1,000 days (and well beyond that, but you know what I mean). What happens next? Anything? Should something?

One year after Joan Kennedy's death, her friend remembers a resilient survivor who was much more than a "Kennedy wife"
The former wife of Sen Ted Kennedy was candid about her own alcoholism and supportive of the recovery community
Joan planned her own funeral, especially the music, choosing "America, The Beautiful" at the end, which her friend Margo Nash says, "I think it was her way of saying goodbye"
There was always more to Joan Kennedy than being a "Kennedy wife," as loyal as she was to the family, long after her 1982 divorce from from Sen. Ted Kennedy. One year after her death on Oct. 8, 2025, at 89 years old, her friend Margo Nash, 77, remembers a woman who, most of all, "was a survivor."
We met in 2006 on Cape Cod. We had both gone to Manhattanville College and what struck me was how humble and accessible she was — given the fact that she had been part of history.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — President Donald Trump, facing protesters and a poor political climate, fought to rally Texas voters behind Senate candidate Ken Paxton on Wednesday night in a bid to stave off sweeping Democratic victories in the nation's most populous red state.
But Trump's remarks were not focused solely on Paxton.
Speaking to a packed Freeman Coliseum, Trump also pledged to award retired baseball star Roger Clemens the Presidential Medal of Freedom, restated his support for the death penalty for drug dealers and clarified recent comments in which he talked about the possibility of Iran bombing American cities as part of a recurring riff about how high fuel costs are "a small price to pay" for the war.
"You want to see problems? Let them hit San Diego, let them hit Los Angeles," Trump said. "We're not going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We protect our country."
The president's message was interrupted repeatedly by protesters, including by one who appeared to be close to the stage. In all, at least a dozen demonstrators interrupted the president. Some were led away by police.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A Texas man who fatally shot a convenience store clerk was put to death Wednesday evening, becoming the 30th person executed in the U.S. this year and the first since Tennessee's failed attempt to administer a lethal injection to Christa Pike a week ago.
Jamaal Howard, 46, was **** ounced dead at 8:03 p.m. after receiving a fatal dose of pentobarbital at the state prison in Huntsville. He was convicted of killing of Vickie Swartout, 42, in a 2000 store robbery caught on surveillance video.
Asked by the warden if he had a final statement, Howard apologized profusely to some members of his victim's family, who watched through a window just feet from the death chamber.
"I wish that you accept my apology and I wish for your forgiveness," he said, shortly before the injection got underway. "I'm sorry for what happened. I wish you can learn to forgive me one of these days."
He also thanked his friends and family and said he loved them, adding he was "in a good state of mind to find peace and the Lord, so I thank y'all." He concluded with: "Hey, enjoy life, and peace to y'all."

Dolly Parton's estate has claimed that the late country music icon's nephew, Bryan Seaver, went to extraordinary lengths to evade being served with a summons—including allegedly draping barbed wire around the entrance to his property.
Seaver, who announced the "9 to 5" hitmaker's death on Aug. 25, was fired from his longtime role as head of security at Parton's properties on Sept. 16.
What followed was a bitter legal battle, with the entity tasked with protecting Parton's brand accusing Seaver of making threats of violence and vowing to destroy the singer's legacy. Seaver has fiercely denied the allegations against him.
On Oct. 2, he filed a motion asking the court to postpone a hearing scheduled for Oct. 9, claiming he had been unable to secure an attorney to represent him.

Documents filed Monday read that Klitschko "believes that a non-family member previously connected to Hayden sold certain items belonging to Hayden, believed to include jewelry, to a **** shop," according to Entertainment Weekly
Klitschko, 50, said that the **** shop has refused to disclose specific information about the items without police contact — leading to his worries that remaining items could be "sold, transferred or otherwise rendered unrecoverable."

Saved by the Bell actor Dennis Haskins' cause of death has now been disclosed one week after his passing. Haskins, who was best known for playing Principal Belding on the hit NBC sitcom, died at the age of 75. The newly revealed details now provide insight into the health condition that led to his death.
Dennis Haskins' death certificate has revealed new details about the health issues that he faced before his death. The document confirms that Parkinson's disease was the immediate cause of death for the actor.
The certificate, obtained by TMZ from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, states that Haskins died on September 27, 2026, at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank.

According to Quinones, Haskins stopped returning her calls and messages, as well as those from other confidants who tried to reach him.

His friend and caretaker Kimberly Snow said he had been dealing with Parkinson's for eight years and had remained in **** isted care since receiving the diagnosis.

Princess Diana left behind one of the world's most recognizable jewelry collections, and decades after her death, several of its most sentimental pieces continue to appear on Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. Kate received perhaps the most famous jewel of them all: Diana's sapphire engagement ring. Meghan, meanwhile, has worn a broader **** ortment of personal pieces, including the late princess' Cartier watch and striking aquamarine **** tail ring. However, determining who received the "best" collection is not as simple as counting diamonds. Some jewels Kate wore belonged to Diana, while others remained part of the royal collection and were merely loaned to both princesses.

Diana reportedly made her wishes clear before her death in 1997.
"I would like you to allocate all my jewelry to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it," she stipulated in a letter accompanying her will, according to Vanity Fair.
The exact division between Prince William and Prince Harry has never been publicly disclosed. Nevertheless, the pieces their wives have subsequently worn offer occasional glimpses into how Diana's personal collection may have been distributed. Kate and Meghan have both used the jewels to honor the mother-in-law they never met. Their selections also reflect their different public lives: Kate regularly wears statement pieces at state occasions, while Meghan frequently incorporates Diana's more personal accessories into contemporary outfits.
