Snopes take on it

 

No idea who they are.

 

3 homicides, 2 killed in accidents, 1 suicide, 2 premature deaths from medical ailments, and 2 substance abuse problems is normal for 29 people?

 

Looks like Butch made out ok.

 

Robert Blake played Mickey not Spanky. Actually "Spanky" McFarland died not "that" long ago.

 

according to them, yes.

 

Probably depends on where you live.

 

They sure do a lot of dancing around on this one -- for Snopes.
