I knew nothing of Grace Kelly's death until today. Had to guess for the last one and went with Hepburn.

I got down to one remaining and the only two I wasn't sure of were Kelly and Hepburn. Happily, I chose correctly.

He moved the multi-story mansion very late. Before that, he just used to roam in Waziristan (after fleeing from Tora Bora).

Exactly! Gandhi was pretty old, if I remember right. But he was murdered. So, maybe it should be defined as having died from non-natural causes.

Got down to the last one and correctly guessed Gandhi, even though there are plenty of images of him as an old(?) man, it seemed plausible that he was killed for political reasons

He was murdered. So it was very sudden. Maybe go back and read the instructions.

Look, I get the gist of the quiz, but the word "sudden" is somewhat subjective. When someone goes from perfectly healthy to dead in a matter of seconds/minutes, I think it's fair to call the death "sudden." But what about Grace Kelly? She had a car accident due to a cerebral hemorrhage on September 13, but didn't die until she was taken off life support the following evening.
InterAlia

Would you like to propose a specific span of time that the word 'sudden' should imply? If it took several hours for Buddy Holly to breathe his last breath after the plane crash, would that fit within the allowable window? What about Heath Ledger? He took a bad combination of pills. When do we start the clock?

Maybe we should just be reasonable.

Being reasonable is contrary to being pedantic. Yours is a lost cause, as far as this website goes. :)
