I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: “Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together”. Mark Twain

Twain’s prediction was accurate; he died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, in Stormfield, (Twain’s mansion where he lived from 1908 until his death) one day after the comet’s closest approach to Earth.
