The "Summer of Death" is a name given to the summer of 2009 when numerous high-profile people died in a short time frame of one another. These included (but are not limited to) Billy Mays, Ted Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and David Carradine and the most prominent one of all Michael Jackson, also known as "The King of Pop". Though there was nothing statistically unusual about the number of celebrity deaths that particular summer, some have speculated that the sheer number of headline deaths, coupled with increasing nostalgia in the population of Western nations may have increased the outpouring of grief during the summer of 2009. ==List of celebrities that died during the summer of 2009== The full list of celebrities and high-profile people that died in, or close to, the Summer of 2009 is contained below, in order of their death: * Dom DeLuise (May 4) * Mickey Carroll (May 7) * Chuck Daly (May 9) * George Tiller (May 31) * David Carradine (June 3) * Michael Roof (June 9) * Ed McMahon (June 23) * Farrah Fawcett (June 25) * Michael Jackson (June 25) * Gale Storm (June 27) * Billy Mays (June 28) * Fred Travalena (June 28) * Harve Presnell (June 30) * Alexis Argüello (July 1) * Karl Malden (July 1) * Steve McNair (July 4) * Allen Klein (July 4) * Oscar G.
