Statistically more people die throughout the winter months than throughout the summer months. My example for this is taken from the National Vital Statistics Report for the year 2008 concerning the statistics in the US ("Table B2. Provisional number and rate of marriages, deaths, and infant deaths, by month: United States, January 2007-December 2008") This is what the numbers are according to said table: January 2007: 222,000 deaths February 2007: 204,000 deaths March 2007: 216,000 deaths April 2007: 203,000 deaths May 2007: 199,000 deaths June 2007: 188,000 deaths July 2007: 194,000 deaths August 2007: 191,000 deaths September 2007: 187,000 deaths October 2007: 198,000 deaths November 2007: 199,000 deaths December 2007: 214,000 deaths January 2008: 224,000 deaths February 2008: 222,000 deaths March 2008: 231,000 deaths April 2008: 206,000 deaths May 2008: 201,000 deaths June 2008: 190,000 deaths July 2008: 191,000 deaths August 2008: 191,000 deaths September 2008: 186,000 deaths October 2008: 198,000 deaths November 2008: 200,000 deaths December 2008: 213,000 deaths As you were asking whether more people died in winter or summer, I just took the statistics for those months into consideration and calculated the average: Winter (Dec-Mar) statistical average: 218,250 deaths Summer (Jun-Sep) statistical average: 189,750 deaths
