How many people die each second worldwide?

Question

Please not just a number, but an approach on how you estimate this figure as well.

Answer 1

World Population = 6.2 billion approx.
Average Life Expectancy of all countries = 64.98 years.

6,2 bn / 64,98 = 95, 413, 973.53
95, 413, 973.53 / 365 = 261, 408.14
261, 408.14 / 86, 400 = 3.02 people a second die
or = 181.53 a minute die
or = 10, 892 an hour die
or = 261, 408.14 a day die
That's 1 million eight hundred and twenty nine thousand eight hundred and fifty seven a week, (1, 829, 857).
which means 1 year from now or since 1 year ago until today, an average of ninety five million one hundred and fifty two thousand people have died/will die. (95, 152, 500).
In ten years' time that will be 951 million - 95% of 1 billion people.

These results are only accurate at providing an estimate on the answer - it is impossible to do so 100% accurately - since the formula I've used would mean everyone alive today - regardless of age - will be dead in 70 years' time whereas that is obviously innaccurate - the reason for this is the low life expectancy of less-developed countries pulling it down and people dying sooner in these places in general, in addition to the fact that a life expectancy is based entirely on statistics and the formula required to give each person an accurate L.E. as individuals thus being able to give a very accurate reading on the number of people dying every second is currently impossible and may well be for a long time.

But basically 3 people - maybe a little over - worldwide die every second day and night in normal average circumstances in general...

Answer 2

Surprisingly, over 150,000 people die every day. On average, 1.8 people die every second.
