There's a World Death Clock. It currently counts up when ppl are dead or dying. It averages 56 million deaths per year.
I once work as a mortician, and found that the weekends and Mondays were the busiest for me. Why Mondays, because ppl hate work and school.
You can actually call the morgue in your city and they can give you an average count of people dead in your town or city. Or they could have it posted on the website hidden somewhere.
