What percentage of people pass away on their birthday?
I assume the probability or dying on your birthday is 1 in 365... But you really don't hear about it that often.

i think that 1 out of 365 is a very good guess, however it equals about 1/2% (.0027).
But if you factor in Suicides, i think the rate would be higher as it is said Suicide rates are higher on their birthdays and holiday seasons.

I'm not sure of the percentage of people who pass away on their birthday, but i'm reasonably sure that people start dying the minute they are born....depressing thoughts though...

That would not be a very good birthday present, but ahhhhh that is the circle of life.

i think that is a very low number ruling out suicide.people might pick that as an exit date i guess but overall i think quite a few do die near their birthdays whether it is just before or just past.
