It's hard to know for sure but you can safely say that in the entire world which has a huge population that someone does die every few seconds to at least every few minutes.

There are billions of people in the world and a lot of people die in the world due to old age, heart attacks, strokes, car accidents etc.

According to statistics it's estimated that 160,000 people in the world die everyday or around 59 to 60 million people die in the world every year.

That seems like a lot of people but when it comes to the population of the entire world that's barely any people.

Also when one person dies usually 1 or 10 babies are born each day for each person that dies.

Of course there's more than 1 or 10 babies being born everyday but that is just for each person that dies 1 or 10 babies are born.

So the people that died are being replaced with new people being born.

Most of the deaths that happen everyday are due to old age related health issues but some people do die from car accidents, work accidents, drowning, heart attacks etc.

But people do die everyday and usually every few seconds to every few minutes.
