Although there have been claims - there have been no substantiated recorded deaths by a meteorite.

The last documented injury was when a 4kg meteorite crashed through her roof and hit Ann Hodges on 30 November 1954 in Sylacauga, Alabama.

No. A meteor cannot hit the earth: meteors burn up in the earth's atmosphere. A meteorite, indeed slots of them, hit the earth last night.

Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. That is a minimum of at nearly 50 a day.

What is the name of the last meteor that hit earth?

A meteor cannot hit the earth: meteors burn up in the atmosphere. The last meteorite to hit the earth was too insignificant to be named. Astronomers estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10grams fall to Earth per million square kilometres each year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. These are simply too insignificant to merit a name!

When was the last meteor that hit earth and where?

Meteorites do not hit the earth - they burn up in the atmosphere. The last meteorite probably hit earth in the last few moments. Astronomers estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10grams fall to Earth per million square kilometres each year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. The evnet is so insignificant that most people probably would not notice.
