People Who Died on Their Birthdays

What a perfect day to die! Looks great on a tombstone. I believe talk show host, Mike Douglas died on his birthday.

Having read an article on people who die on their birthday, I am interested to know if there is a name for this occurrence. My gran died on Wednesday 22nd April 2009 aged exactly 91!

My Grandmother died on May 19, 2009, exactly 88 years after her birth. What does it mean to be born and to die on the same day. It definitely sounds like a full circle and a completed life; no loose ends.
Goodbye Grandma, I love you

My mother died on her 88th Birthday. I wonder what it means?

William Shakespeare and Prophet Muhammad always appear in this list.But Shakespeare died on 23rd April 1616,
St.George’s Day.Eventhough there is an official record of his Baptism occurred on 26th April 1564,there is no official record of his birth.

But as the practice of Baptism is done soon after birth,
his birthday is celebrated on 23rd April.

Also,Prophet Muhammad is reportedly dead on 8th June 632,which was not his birthday,but was the date of Rabi-ul-Awwal 12,which was the same date as 20th April 570,his birthday.

But,some books say that he died on a New Moon Day.Then
his death occurred on 22nd June 632,aged 62.

When a person is dead on his birthday,according to an Indian’s belief,many other deaths occur before the 1st Anniversary.

So,for avoiding the death on birthday and living for a long time,there must do Mrityunjaya Homa on every birthday.

Also,when a death occurs on the stars Avittam,Chathayam,Poorooruttathi,Uttratathi and Revathi,
the same occurs as in the case of the birthday death.
If it happen on birthday,it will be very dangerous.

In India,the death anniversaries are known ‘Srardham’ in Sanskrit,Telugu and Malayalam,’Chatham’ in Tamil,
‘Srardha’ in Kannada and ‘Srardh’ in Hindi,Marathi,Bengali,Gujarati,etc.If a person’s birthday or Janmadivas,occur on the same date as the death anniversary or Srardha,it is very harmful to the surviving relatives.

So,I hope that nobody among us or our relatives die on our or their birthdays.
