    I think that is backwards. It appears from Roach's list that he has lived in more movies than died.

    Simple math follows:

    total movies: 15
    Lived: 9
    Died: 6

    Lived to total- 9/15 or 3/5 or 60%
    Died to total- 6/15 or 2/5 or 40%

    Ratio of died to lived- 6:9 or 2:3 which means for every 2 movies he died in there are 3 that he lived in.
