List of famous people sorted by age of death?

September 15, 2013 11:19 PM

I'm looking for a comprehensive list of famous people throughout history who died at age 27. Google only throws up short lists of the "27 Club" of famous musicians.

Does anyone know of a more comprehensive list of famous people who died at 27? Or a list of famous people that can be sorted by age of death?

I can't do this, but I suspect there is a way of indexing birth and death dates in wikipedia to extract those people who died in their 28th year.

edit: also searching google news for died "aged 29" brings up a few. you may need to add famous, celebrity, actor or other words to get famous people

Wikipedia has a longer list (though still only musicians.)
