Who the fuck is Steve Mcnair? Honestly, this the first I have heard the name.
I live in the US also...
Anyways, my point is that people die. It's maybe the only thing we are all certain to accomplish at one point or another. If you keep digging for some crazy coincidence then you will find it, but only because people are always passing away, and they always will.
Like, I'll bet that if you really look you can find someone within the past week who has died who has the exact same name as you.
