They are all mentioned in this survey. |

Every one of thier names had a vowel in it! |

Well... Chopin wasn't a satirist, Chekhov wasn't an illustrator, Brontë wasn't a philosopher, Orwell wasn't a poet and Austen wasn't a novelist (meow).
So they all died of TB |

Satirists? |

I'm going with TB because the other answers don't fit. |

That is what I was thinking...TB must be it. |

I don't know the names of any of these individuals and I really don't feel like looking them all up. |

Well, I know that they aren't all novelists, illustrators, composers, satirists, philosophers or poets by trade. So I'm going to assume that they all died of TB. |

Hmm, maybe Wikipedia is letting me down, but it suggests that Austen died of Addisons or Hodgkin's lymphoma |

They must have all died of tuberculosis? |

That was my source. At the bottom of the page, there's a link to Deaths by tuberculosis. |

I haven't a clue.... |

"Deaths by tuberculosis" doesn't seem to exist. There is a List of TB victims but Jane Austen isn't on it. |

They were all well known for something? |

By elimination I guess they all died of TB. |

They are all dead aren't they? |

Guessing TB as the rest of the options seem unlikely. |

It was there when I posted that link. Ah...wikipedia...such a vibrant source of information! |

I will guess that they all died of tuberculosis, as none of the other descriptions applies to all of them. |

I like Wikipedia - very helpful for minor bits of research |
| Biggles | | (reply to they) posted 19-Apr-2008 5:52pm |
Ah, I wonder why I couldn't find that before... |
they   | | (reply to Biggles) posted 20-Apr-2008 12:33pm |
I dunno... I think the link changed or something.
I remember that I knew why it changed at the time I sent you that. I don't remember now. |
Zang  | | (reply to they) posted 27-Apr-2008 10:46pm |
Yeah, I noticed it came back later... |
