I get wondering if one would necessarily know that. There's that article where they calculate the supposed odds of a murderer walking past (and not murdering you). I'd think deaths would be maybe an order of magnitude more common. I think I'm going to say no on the technicality that I didn't know or watch them die, so it's not the same. But I've been within about 100 yards of one dead in car-accident, one in car-bomb, two people dying in fires (and one I saved), and 9 in a mass-shooting. And my father who we said goodbyes to at a hospital, we didn't know how long he'd survive but all had to be at work next Monday, and received word he'd passed away just as we left the hospital.
