Canadian actor Cory Monteith, who died in July of a toxic mix of heroin and alcohol, ranked No. 2 on the list.
The third most-searched person in 2013 was South African runner Oscar Pistorius, who stood accused of killing his girlfriend.
He is followed by the late Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher and Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi.
