Depends which 25%.
I think that the effects would be different if 1-in-4 people died, spread evenly across the planet, by age, race, weight, prosperity, education, etc.; as opposed to simply nominating (e.g.) Western Europe (is that 25% of the population?) and saying goodbye to everyone who lives there.
