how many people die every second ?
 

how many ? how does one find a statistic like this ?

According to the CIA World Fact book, the average death rate for the world is 8.68 deaths per 1,000 people; with a population (estimated) of 6.4 billion, that gives us 155,000 deaths per day by all causes, and almost 57 million per year.

Ok that was in a day but it's all i can be bothered lookin for...

1.73 according to the 150k/day factoid

so 155k deaths a day , where a day has 24hours, each hour 60 minutes and each minute 60 secondes

so 155K divided by 24 makes 6485 per hour makes 108 per minute , and thus 1.8 people die every seconde


thats not that many , people should die faster if we dont want to get overpopulated .....

Every eight seconds, someone dies from tobacco use. -- WHO

:smokin

I made 1.8 out of it, people die by the second

interesting eh!

57 million? wtf? and we might hear about 200 of them on the news :|

That's just too much!!

We are like ants in this planet.... :(

Compare it against how many people are born every day.

very true! more people are born daily that die!

too many...:(

EVRIKA! Global population is raising up, no shit!

If my jackass neighbour throws another obnoxious party this weekend till 3am, the death rate per second will increase dramatically for a short period.

That's not nearly enough people dead. We need to bump up that number by at least 2 or 3 times. Everybody, you MUST do your part. Start killing your neighbors! Start killing your neighbors neighbors! Do your part to reduce the global threat of global population TODAY.

Why did you ask by the way? :)

The whole population of the world could comfortably fit in Houston Tx.. Dont give me this overpopulation crap.
