I disagree. In fact, in an experiment, I interviewed a large number of people about this issue. Without fail, they had not died.

On a more serious note (still wholly unrelated to the thread), according to the article at Fact or Fiction?: Living People Outnumber the Dead: Scientific American, about 6% of the homo sapiens who ever were born are currently alive.
