maryportfuncity 9,992 Posted October 19, 2005 Seeing the Johny Haynes thread made me wonder how many famous people have died on their own birthday. I think Oliver Cromwell was born and died on September 12th. Presumably one in every 365.25 should die on their birthday so there must be others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted October 19, 2005 How many of the older Death List incumbants have their birthdays coming up towards the end of the year? Callaghan died on the eve of his birthday, so maybe there is hope that one or two may pop off in and around their birthday by the end of the year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 273 Posted October 20, 2005 Wikpedia full of useful trivia. I've seen that Wiki page before - directed from here probably - and it was the suicide of Mel Street that caught my eye. Perhaps no-one turned up to his party? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,142 Posted January 17, 2007 It was reported in the local paper that a woman died yesterday on the morning of her 100th Birthday. She got up, recieved her telegram, then died. A real party pooper as her family were on their way to the nursing home where she stayed to celebrate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
