All stillborne infants do. I suspect you mean how many die on their birth date anniversary (aka "birthday").

Since the year has 365 days before it repeats and since all once healthy people have a roughly even chance of dying any of those 365 days, the odds that someone will die on their birthday is approximately one in 365.

Since the Earth's human population is roughly 6 billion, approximately (6B/365=) 16.5 million people had birthdays today. Since the average life expectancy on Earth is 64.5 years or 23,542 days, this means approximately (16.5M/23,542=) 700 people that died today died on their birthday.

So as to "how often" this happens:

There are (24 hrs * 60 minutes =) 1440 minutes in a day.

Therefore, on average someone dies on their birthday approximately every (1440/700 = ) 2 minutes.
