pluto is the god of the underworld and the house of scorpio is the 8th, which is also about death.

Exactly. It's a pluto theme, but it is not about scorpios. I can see a harsh pluto transit bringing a scorpio baby after a death easier than I can see just a random scorp birth after/before a death, but even that's a stretch. I don't know where LG got her idea, and she doesn't give any stats that I recall, so I am unconvinced. I do have an open mind about it though.

I had two deaths in my family and two babies were born right after and there isn't a lick of scorpio in either of them. In fact, they're both tauruses.

The death-birth connection is more of a testament to reincarnation than to anything having to do with scorpio, imo.

I'm all for seeing if a lot of scorpios have this, but like I said, I have about 5 in family with no death prefacing or commencing after their births. This isn't even counting scorp friends. So I'd say i am way over 5%.

I am the surviving one of twins. He died during birth.
My uncle and grandmother died months after I was born.
My first daughter who was a Scorpio died when she was 5 months.
.
I don't know if this counts, But it's a pattern that is very dominant and I feel it's at least worth mentioning .
Shortly after my 3rd adoption the head male of the house died of cancer.
A few weeks after I was placed into a group home one of the girls drowned herself with a plastic bag in the bathroom sink.
My best friend died of a drug overdose in my arms.
My friends girlfriend kills herself after all three of us move in together.
While it's not always around a Scorpio birth, it happens at least once yearly, every year so far.
This pattern continues on throughout my life. There's a lot more but you get the idea. I've begun to get used to it.
