My mom died on her birthday. That was four days after they took her off of life support on my birthday. Ever since then, I've been nervous about my own birthday. R.I.P mom! You are always loved and missed. ❤❤❤

Although we aren’t famous, my family has a history of action on my birthday. I was born on my father’s birthday. That day is also shared with my stepfather. My father-in-law died on my birthday and my father died on our shared birthday. February 26th is a day that brings a lot of sadness and happy times all on that one day.

I remember watching The Mike Douglas Show with my mom as a wee li'l one. Dying on one's birthday (depending on manner of death) actually makes sense in a way.

I was thinking the same thing

So Shakespeare died on his birthday. But the actual date of his birth in *_unknown._* Yet he died on his *_UNKNOWN_* birthday. Interesting.

Suzanne Sommers died this year one day short of her 77th birthday 😔

Nicki Swift, I read that John Banner was on a comedy tour and he couldn’t get back into his home country; Maury Chakin/Chakin was in Wargames and the TV show Nero Wolfe.

That would be a rather crappy and unwanted birthday present.

Dying on one’s birthday is poetically symmetric. (I typed, with my fingers crossed . . . )

[@nafiysamuhammad4208]

Maybe it’s me but depending on the cause of death I don’t think of your birthday being your death date as a tragic end. It’s actually kind of like a full circle moment in my eyes.

Ian Marter, who played Harry Sullivan in Doctor Who, died on his 42nd birthday in October 1986.

My grandpa died 18 days shy of his 85th birthday (the day after Christmas Day).

[@Margann1987]

My friend John Chartrand, who was a former OHL goalie, died on his birthday. He was killed in a car accident. (BTW, you misspelled Chaykin.)

[@CornvilleConsigliere]

This is an interesting subject. Here is another one: famous people who died on YOUR birthday.... Sadly ive thought about this myself as my birthday is April 15th and all lost on the Titanic had that death day. Also a couple other notables were Abe Lincoln,Pol Pot, and Greta Garbo. There are many more. Apparently im not the only weirdo out there to research thos as there are sights dedicated to it. To be fair though, I am pretty weird. 😁✌️💪♥️
