Paul Walker, Heath Ledger, Jim Morrison, now those were pre-mature.

Take the Carrie Fisher thread for example. Over 60 and years of coke abuse. Unfortunate? Yes. Surprise? Shouldn't be.
You could say that the connection is the heightened risks associated with the celebrity lifestyle. Except for Walker, all of the above died of possible drug abuse.

George Michaels - cocaine (causes long term heart damage)
Carrier Fisher - cocaine (causes long term heart damage)
Heath Ledger - painkilers
Jim Morrison - heroin + alcohol
Prince - painkillers

You could draw the extreme that Paul Walker died of the celebrity lifestyle as well if you consider most regular people wouldn't be involved in that kind of car accident.
