how many people die per year worldwide? [this is morbid]

My guess is that given life expectancies and population growth, 0.8% of the population dies every year.   That means about 52 million people die every year (or 142k/day).  That means almost as many people die per year than the entire population of France.   This is not from terrorists (mostly) but from aging, heart attacks, and many preventable deaths.   When you think of it, that is a staggering number.
