Bit with a mad dog

This makes it seem like someone wielded the dog as a weapon

Dying of piles sounds awful. Like, it would have been nice to marathon Ye Olde Stranger Things or Squide Game without having your arse falling to pieces on your ~~deathbed~~ deathsofa.

This is just the extended discography of a gothic folk metal band?

King's Evil sounds like they were executed to me, but I have no clue what it could actually mean.

Scrofula.

Anyone checking for a actual executions should look about 3/4 down the first column.

So death by heartbreak is possible

You see it a lot in elderly couples. One dies right after the other.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

That happened with our dogs. One of our dogs was crazy about the other, like she was his everything. She passed away, and he died in the middle of the night a few days later. They were both elderly, but he had seemed fine when we went to bed, other than being sad about losing his best friend.

Not just couples, Debbie Reynolds stepped out after Carrie Fisher died

Someone vomitted to death. I'd probably rather the cancer and wolf combo.

What is King's Evil and why did so many die from it?

"Over-laid" sounds like death by snu-snu.

What else am I missing?

Mostly, they died from a lack of medical knowledge.

This will make a useful crib sheet for reading the causes of death in the US next year under Health Tsar RFK Jnr .

So many dead children. I count a full one third of all deaths being babies and toddlers.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's the reason why so many misleading statistics claim a much shorter lifespan in the past. If you survived childhood, and there wasn't a plague around, or a war, you had good chances of reaching 60.

I didn't know you could die of grief. Also what is 'made away themselves'?

Someone didn't watch the Star Wars prequels
