I’ve heard “in future” before (my mind tags it as British), so “in past” makes sense. But you still have 6 syllables (unless “people have” is only 2, as “peep-lav”?). I came up with “Folks have died before.” myself.
I’m bad at syllables. Any time I try haikuing, I almost invariably think one word quickly, ignore the excess syllables I’m not pronouncing, and mess it up.
