Famous people who DIED the exact day you were born

Nobody famous died on my birth day but I got Marcus Junius Brutus, Roman Senator who died on October 23, 42 BC. This was 2,027 years to the day which is 1985 AD unless math is wrong.

Nothing wrong with your math, but you’re still off by ten days.

:wink:

Soooo, my nemesis… after all these centuries, we meet again.

Dorothy L. Sayers December 17, 1957.

The only one listed on Historyorb was William E “Little Willie” John, a US R&B-singer.

I’m just going to note that when I first saw the title I actually thought it said “the exact way you were born,” and I just didn’t know how that was going to work out . . . .

You’re off by one year – there was no Year 0, so someone born on October 23, 42 B.C., would have (had he been immortal) turned 2026 in 1985 A.D.

I don’t get any famous people breathing their last as I come into the world.

Huh, apparently I was born the day Bob Crane died/was murdered. I never knew this, yet Hogan’s Heroes is one of my dad’s favourite shows.

Charles Lindbergh died the day I was born. I should start using that as the explanation for having Charles for a middle name, rather than the mundane “for a family member” reason.

My Birthday too! We’ve also had an earthquake (1964)

A lot of people shuffled off this mortal coil on my birth date (September 29) but none in my actual year (1968).

What’s the siginificance of your user name? (If you don’t mind…)

Well, today’s my birthday and according to the links, no one famous died the day I was born.

I was born during World War II 27 days after D-Day and I sometimes wonder how many lives ended that day that would have accomplished great and beautiful things but for humankind’s (especially Hitler’s) incredible defectiveness. Calls to mind the Blood, Sweat and Tears tune “…and when I die, and when I’m dead, dead and gone, there’ll be one child born to carry on…” I heard it on the radio today.

I was born during the Tet Offensive in the Viet Nam War. Specifically when I was emerging, screaming from my mother’s womb, about 3,800 people were being killed during the Massacre at Hue.

Happy Birthday!

Beethoven died on my birthday. March 26.

the famous person who died on my birthday was John F Kennedy I was born November 22, 1963

Irene Castle, English dancer (b. 1887)

She died 43 years ago today.

Nobody famous.

But a friggin’ whale exploded.

Thornton Wilder and a whole lot of East Timorese (Indonesia inveaded that day) left the day I checked in.
