A current study is bringing new meaning to the “birthday blues.”  Swiss researchers have found that you’re 14% more likely to die on your birthday.

They discovered the most common causes of death on birthdays are heart attacks, strokes, suicide and accidental deaths, like fatal falls.  Some data suggested that those with terminal illnesses hold out until their birthday in an attempt to reach a milestone.
