What are the chances of that happening?!!!

Have you ever written about something completely random/obscure, only to find out that it's been mentioned in another show, quite recently? Earlier tonight, I was reading about Isadora Duncan, who was a famous American dancer, who was famously killed in 1927, when her scarf was caught in the wheel of her chauffeur-driven car, and she was dragged behind it, along a French street, and I decided I'd have one of my characters make a reference to her. Then, just 10 minutes ago, I looked her up on Wikipedia, and read that she, and the scarf incident, were recently mentioned on an episode of the Mighty Boosh!!! I don't suppose anyone knows of another celebrity, who was killed in similarlydramatic circumstances?

Isadora Duncan worked for Telefunken..

Quite a few celebs in the music biz have been killed in aeroplane and car crashes but that's mundane in comparison to ol' 'dora..
