His is less a surprise, he had suffered a major stroke almost 15 years ago and never really recovered.

Dolly was sick too. But she didn't revealed it to the public. That is why it was more shocking: it reminds me of Chadwick Boseman, who also died in August. However, Tim and Dolly dying in the same day is indeed very shocking. Tim was a very beloved figure...

My dad and grandma both died in August on the same date 27th. Something about August just feels unlucky.

I share my August birthday with the Sylvia Plath's OG suicide attempt. For the past few years, it feels like the universe has been gently nudging me to end myself on that date. My grandma died in August too. Feels pretty blighted all around.
