Are there online lists of such distributions? What are the theoretical models of such distributions, anyways?

Of course, it has to do with a function of the survivorship curve and the % of people who don't make it to the next year.

So maybe you could have 5% of the 1912 cohort left at age 93, and 20% don't make it, so .05*.2 is the percent of people born in 1912 who have death dates around 2005.

Of course, you could manually construct it from an actuarial table, but this would take a lot of time for me, so I'm wondering if there are sources for this elsewhere.
