Well, really strange post. I would hardly find out about people who die the day I was born. Death is sad and awful. Why to sadden your birthday? I don't understand you.
Everyone dies. Sooner or later.
If you don't face that then you're ignoring half of life and in some respect one of the things that makes life so precious.
As for why do that on my birthday, it was just something odd I stumbled across. One of those "this day in history" kind of things and history fascinates me.
wow, John Keats died on my birthday...how romantic.
