Those of us with our birthdays behind us for the year can rest easy until next year,the rest of you will have to wait and see. I'd never heard of the birthday mortality rate before,but it's a real thing. Scientists studied 2.5 million deaths from 1969 to 2008 and from the data collected determined a person is more likely to die on their birthday than any other day,that includes suicides,natural causes,accidents and other causes. There are several possible reasons given for birthday deaths and they vary with the age of the celebrant. Historically this has also been noted,that list includes: William Shakespeare,Ingrid Bergman,Betty Friedan,George (Machine Gun Kelly)Barnes,Raphael and FDR.
