Birth Days and Death Days

I have never been to a funeral on my birthday before.  Not sure if it is the kind of celebration (wake) that you would want on your birthday.  JK Rowling introduced me to the concept of Death Days as opposed to Birth Days.  There must be somewhere in the history of the world where a person has died on their birthday. This would be a talking point at the wake, although I have never actually heard of this happening.
