I didn't know that.

Let me clarify

Many Mahayana Buddhist monks were reported to know the time of death and left their last testaments and their students accordingly buried them sitting in lotus posture, put into a vessel with full of such as coal, wood, paper or lime and surrounded by bricks, and be exhumed after usually 3 years.

Now monks aside, my grandad knew the time of his own death, apart from the fact the doctors knew too as they told him how long hed got, more or less!! I think most people who are dying know that, roughly, too
