“Curse of Titanic” Claims Last Survivor; Millvina Dean Dies at 97, of Natural Causes

titanic5LONDON – Millvina Dean,the last survivor from the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, has died in England at age 97. 

Sir Osmond Swayne, Titanic historian, explained that the death of Ms. Dean a year after the death by natural causes of Titanic survivor Barbara West Dainton, 96, and just two years after the death by natural causes of Titanic survivor Lillian Gertrud Asplund, 99,  is “more than just an astounding coincidence.”

“What are the odds that three women in their late 90s just happen to die within three years of each other? And does it not strain credulity that all three supposedly died of ‘natural causes’ connected with old age?  No, there is only one possible explanation: the Curse of the Titanic,” he explained.

Sir Osmond explained that the “Curse of the Titanic” has been taking lives of persons on the ship’s last voyage since 1912. “The curse actually started with the sinking, because many lives were lost that night by drowning.”  He added that “no one who was on that boat that night is safe, trust me.”
