What's surprising to me is that the AP put that obit together this quickly. Did they just have it waiting in a drawer somewhere?

Found it:

Multiple premature obituaries came to light on 16 April 2003, when it was discovered that pre-written draft memorials to several world figures were available on the development area of the CNN website without requiring a password (and may have been accessible for some time before). The pages included tributes to Fidel Castro, Dick Cheney, Nelson Mandela, Bob Hope, Gerald Ford, Pope John Paul II, and Ronald Reagan.

Yes. They have obits in the can on everyone important/famous/celebs. It's a standard assignment for young journalists to update the on file obits.

That's probably not statistically true. Good and bad people die. Some are young. Some are old. If one engages in high risk behavior then they tend to die younger.

No it's because they're a) famous and b) either a musician/singer or c) an actor. There are plenty of good people that live very longs lives and many that don't but they're just not famous. Criminals and terrorists have very short life spans.

Criminal's Life Expectancy

Much of the research into the lifespan of criminals has focused on gang members. These criminals typically start off with petty crimes, such as shoplifting, but quickly progress into more significant or violent crimes, increasing the danger. This is a violent and dangerous business, where guns are an everyday reality. Teens and, increasingly even younger children, become part of the gang lifestyle earlier, dramatically increasing the possibility that they will be killed by violence at a young age. The average gang member lives to be just 20 years and 5 months old. With the average US life expectancy at 78 years, gang members can expect to live just over a quarter of this.

You are unworthy to exist in your current form. and will therefore face the wrath of anonymous. Your empire lacks legitimacy and because of this you must govern behind a curtain of deceit.
