From examining death certificates issued over 25 years in the US, the researchers found five per cent more people dying on Jan 1 from natural causes than on any other day of the year, though the reason is unknown.
Study author David Phillips told the Washington Post: "This pattern turns up in every natural cause of death, but not for external causes like auto accidents.
"It's hard to understand why that would be.
"It's not only a mystery, but a mystery that people haven't even tried to engage with,' Mr Phillips said, confirming that he is not aware of any further research on the topic.
So if you're feeling unwell during this period of the year, get yourself some medical attention- just in case.
