Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
Instead of dying from the overdose, Vélez' stomach got upset and she drowned while vomiting in the toilet. A popular belief is that Vélez was unable to face the shame of giving birth to a child out of wedlock. Eventual fathers of the unborn child were actors Harald Maresch, Arturo de Córdova and Gary Cooper.
(13 December 1944)
There are 3366 births, 3927 deaths, 1121 murders, 497 disasters and 2076 other events about 5724 people in 6428 places until today.
