This might be where that info is coming from. One would have to pay the price plus shipping & handling to see if the "within 12 months" portion is on there.
Yeah, its overestimated... In the US, the annual death rate is 8.2 persons per thousand residents, which figures out to around 2.5 million per year in the United States. (But that's still a lot of people.....)
