Recently Steve Jobs, Fred Shuttlesworth and Al Davis.

2006 had James Brown, Gerald Ford, and Saddam Hussain.

Any other trio of celebrities that died within a week of each other?

people are always dying, it's just a question of whether or not they spark(ed) bourgeois fascination.

A million people die every week.  If you can tie three in together that you know of, more power to you.

OK, so this isn't a thing, but if it were a thing, there's only one example worth mentioning.

My boss's landlord's wife, mother-in-law, and father-in-law died within two months of each other, about twenty years ago, in that chronological order. Don't ask me why I know that, I certainly didn't know these people twenty years ago.

Oh, hughento beat me to it!

Three of the most influential rock & roll musicians, who all died in a plane crash.  Thus, "The Day the Music Died..Bye Bye Miss American Pie".
