Not true. Approximately 550,000 people die per year in the UK and the referendum result was around 1.3m more votes for leave than remain.

Even if one assumes that every single person who dies is old and every single person who is old voted to leave (neither of which is true) then this factor does not come close to changing the result at this point in time.
