Time most likely to die

Harvard Medical School’s research in 2012 revealed that the peak time for departing this world is 11 a.m..1 Professor Clifford Saper, the lead author of the study, emphasized, “There’s even a circadian rhythm of death so that in the general population, people tend on average to be most likely to die in the morning hours". However, it’s more complex than a single-hour timeframe.

Statistically, more people pass away in the chilly winter months, particularly in January and December, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But what remains a puzzle is the spike in deaths during the holidays, particularly on Christmas, New Year’s Day, and the days following these celebrations. Studies haven’t been able to pinpoint a single cause for this holiday peak.2 In contrast to popular belief, the suicide rate is at its lowest during the holiday season, with spring and fall marking the peak times. Homicide rates also decrease during the holidays.

When analyzing 39 million deaths between 1999 and 2004, researchers uncovered a curious trend: Saturdays emerged as the day when one is most likely to pass.

Which proves once again that cold, not global warming, is more dangerous. We live in S. Arizona so if Minnesota temperatures are 2º warmer, they are not going to die of heat.

All my great aunts/uncles that moved to florida lived into their 80s-90's. The ones that stayed in pittsburgh barely got out of their 60's. Some didn't even see that.

Warm weather does help. Someone I know had to move from CA to Pittsburg for job purposes.
He said there's nothing to do in Pittsburg so he goes to NYC often.

My guess is most people die in January and December because that is the cold, flu, and pneumonia season. At least that's true where I live in Wisconsin. As to cold weather...bring on global warming. We are supposed to have a dryer and warmer winter this year due to El Nino. Fine by me. Last winter I didn't see bare ground for nearly 4 months. And I would say I was snowblowing my driveway twice a week. As to long life....I have a gal in my church that is over 100. Still drives. Scary. But she is a great lady. And I now a lot of people living into their 80's and 90's these days. Doesn't help Social Security, does it.
