3. Churchill Died Exactly 70 Years To The Day After His Father
Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston's father, died on January 24, 1895, at the age of 45. Exactly 70 years later, Winston Churchill died on January 24, 1965, at the age of 90 - meaning he lived exactly twice as long as his father. A weird coincidence, perhaps?
