No, it's just that the word for death is in the word for 4. 7 too I think (so 7 is an unlucky number too, but not as unlucky as 4) The Japanese actually came up with second names for the numbers 4 and 7 so they wouldn't have to say "death" whenever they say the #s. Stangely, Japanese numbers are written in groups of 4 when groups of that amount are usually avoided.

Yes, in Chinese(Cantonese) both 4 and 7 sound
like Death/Die (Cantonese 4 = Say)
Or so my Chinese wife tells me anyway :o))
