INTERESTING FACTS
We note that the same phenomenon pertains to deaths, for example, the probability that at least two former presidents of the United States share a birth month and day and the probability that at least two former presidents share a death day and month is the same. From the table (See Probability and the Birthday problem Part-I) for n = 44 presidents, the probability is 0.9328. Which shows that, there is about 93.28% chance that the former any two or more US Presidents share their birthday or death day.

James Monroe (5th US President)
James Polk and Warren Harding were born on November 2; Milliard Fillmore and William Howard Taft died on March 8. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe all died on July 4 (Independence Day). Of course, these presidents’ birth and death events do not prove the phenomenon.
