Last week I met a woman who was born on the same date AND the same year as I was. That's rare and the chances are approximately 365 x 85 to 1 = 1 in 31,025 (assuming that the average person lives till age 85). Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm shockingly poor at mathematics!
But the chances of two people dying on the same date are 1 in 365.25
Whether the chances are increased or decreased by being in the same family, I couldn't say. But it's definitely possible.
It's spelt "likelihood".

Princess Di died in the early hours of Aug 31, 1997 in Paris.
Itβs just that the publication date of the Time mag is Sept 8, 1997.
The other coincidences are strange.
Fixed thanks
