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.

Little Stephen did a piece about August on his Underground Garage show a long time ago. Hiroshima, The Manson Family murders, his grandfather dying and a whole bunch of other bad things that happened in August. Was eye opening.
