CRAZY COINCIDENCE-PEOPLE WHO PREDICTED THEIR OWN DEATHS

As the popular saying goes "Two things are sure in this life death and taxes." This statement is so factual that a few people where able to predict their own deaths. Call it creepy-coincidence or clairvoyance there is something grim about seeing into the future if what you see is your own death.

Here are a few people who predicted their own demise;

Arnold Schoenberg

Arnold Schoenberg was born on September 13, 1874. He was a talented painter, a composer and also suffered from triskaidekaphobia which is a fear of number 13. His fear for the number was so sever that in his composition Moses und Aron he deliberately misspelled the Arron to avoid the letters adding up to 13. And in 1951 when Friday the 13th came around when he was 76 years old 7+6=13 he felt so sick and anxious that his doom had come that he stayed in bed. At 11:45 that same night his wife got a call from the Doctor that he had died. If you asked me he suffered from a heart failure because of worry but its still very mind-blowing.

Mark Twain

Known for his contributions to the literary community and his witty quotes Mark Twain was a very peculiar character. Some of his most successful books where The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer and Life On The Mississippi River. In 1909 he made the statement, " I came into the world with the Haley Comet in 1835. It is coming next year and I expect to go with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with the Haley Comet. On April 20, 1910 Halley Comet made its next appearance. Mark Twain died of heart attack on April 21,1910.

Abraham de Moivre

When Mathematician Abraham de Moivre started over sleeping by fifteen minute each day he made a prediction that when the 15 minutes amount to 24 hours he would die and on November 27, 1754 he did. His official cause of death was reported as somnolence, otherwise known as excessive sleepiness.

Abraham Lincoln

There are some speculation in-regards to the the authenticity of President Lincolns death prediction, but according to his former friend, lawyer and bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln saw his assassination in a dream. Apparently Lincoln was a strong believer that dreams had meaning and a few days before his assassination he had a dreamt that he walked into the East Room of the White House and saw a corpse surrounded by soldiers and when he was asked who had died he said replied and said he was killed by an assassin.

Pete Maravich

In 1974 Pete Maravich told a reporter that he did not want to play basketball for 10 years and then died of an heart attack. And sadly he died of a heart attack on January 5, 1988 at the age of 40 at a pickup game in a church gym in Pasadena. He had also played basketball for a whole decade.

Tupac Shakur

Born Lesane Parish Cook on June 16, 1971 Tupac Shakur also known as Makevile was an American rapper, producer, actor and poet. His albums All Eyes On Me and Great Hits are are among the top selling albums in the United States. On April 7, 2017 he will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On September 7, 1996 he was fatally shot and killed in a drive by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vega Nevada. Prior to his death Tupac had rapped in the song Under Pressure "Before I die i'm going to be cursin........." and in his song Niggas Dont Change ft Richie Rich he said, " I been shot and murdered, can't tell you how it happened word for word....." Those are too clear prediction that he would be soon die. In an unaired interview in 1994 two years before he died Tupac sat down with Entertainment Weekly writer Benjamin Svetsky for an interview and when he was ask where he'd like to be in 15 years he replied saying "Best case scenario in cemetery...not in a cemetery-sprinkled in ashes and smoked by my homies. He then said, "I mean worse case, best case [scenario] a millionaire owning all this sh*t."

Over the years a number of other lines from the songs has come to fruition.

Mickey Welsh

On September 26, 2011 Mike Welsh twitted “Dreamt I died in Chicago the weekend after the next (heart attack in my sleep). I need to write my will today.” On Saturday, October 8, he was found unconscious in his Chicago hotel room. Though authorities suspected that prescription narcotics and heroin played a role in his death, Welsh’s toxicology report came back inconclusive.

Frank Pastore

Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Frank Pastore died within a few hours of saying he could on the 210 freeway any day. After retiring from the Cincinnati Reds Pastore became a sports celebrity on a daily radio talk show about religious matters. On December 12, 2011 after finishing a discussion on mortality where he said on the radio show, “you guys know I ride a motorcycle, right? At any moment, especially with the idiot people who cross the diamond lane into my lane… at any minute, I could be spread all over the 210.” He was hit by a vehicle on the 210 freeway the regular route he took each day after he had left the radio show that same day. He died a month later from his injuries.

Notorious B.I.G

Christopher George Latore Wallace popularly known by his rap name Notorious B.I.G or Biggie Smalls was born on May 21, 1972. He quickly rose to stardom after the release of his debut album Ready to Die. Shortly after he released his second album which was called Life After Death. This lyrics in the tracks on this album portrayed excessive street violence and he also hinted that his death was near. In the track suicidal thoughts where Biggie placed a desperate phone call to a friend he said, "I swear to God that death is f**king calling me," the track ends with him killing himself with a single bullet.On March 9,1997 he killed by unknown assailants in a drive by shooting Los Vegas.

He and Tupac Shakur who was also murdered in a drive by shooting before Biggie were both caught up in a East-coast and West-coast beef which many people assumed lead to both rappers deaths. Both he and Shakur are regarded as two of the most influential rappers of all times.
