In the United States nearly three million people die every year, so over 8,000 per day. In that year 650,000 die from heart disease; 600,000 from cancer; 83,000 from diabetes; and 40,000 from car fatalities. If you want that in Australian terms then 161,000 or so people die every year in this country; depending on the year between 1,500 and 3,000 die from the flu; and 1,200 or so die from car fatalities.
