Who died at your age?
Here’s something morbid, but really quite cool.
Enter your date of birth at Dead At Your Age and it will tell you how old you are in years and days, then tell you about someone who died at that age.
Here’s who died at my age of 30 and 322 days:
When Nat Turner, leader of a bloody Virginia slave rebellion that terrified Southern slaveholders, was the exact same age as you, he started a slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia. A preacher, slave, and self-styled prophet, Turner encouraged as many as 70 other blacks to revolt against their white oppressors. That was in 1831. He died by execution 82 days later, in 1831.
So, who died at your age?
You are 31 years and 258 days old today.
You’ve outlived Joyce Kilmer by almost a month. She was a poet, lecturer, soldier and journalist best know for his poem “Trees” (1913). She died of wounds from gunshot in war on July 30, 1918, 60 years before you were born.
Now I have to wiki her to find out who she is. lol.
Ugh. I really didn’t need to be reminded of my exact age down to the day at this hour of the morning. Scary!
You are 35 years and 192 days old today.
You’ve outlived Matthew Webb by almost a week. He was the first man to swim the English channel, he swam from Dover to Calais in under 22 hours. He died by drowning on July 24, 1883, 91 years before you were born.
You are 34 years and 48 days old today.
