One of the risks of [[circumcision]] in either sex, at any age, is '''death'''. It is difficult to obtain accurate estimates of the deaths caused by circumcision because hospitals are not required to release this data, doctors often purposefully attribute the death to a secondary cause, such as "hemorrhaging," or "septic shock," and oftentimes, parents who are complicit agree to keep silent about the surrounding of their child's death.
Holt (1913) reported deaths of boys from tuberculosis transmitted by tubercular ''mohelim''. during ritual non-therapeutic circumcision.<ref>{{REFjournal
