 GJ> Definitely.  Most people who die young do so violently.

 ML> Depends on what you mean. From birth to the mid-40s accidents
 ML> (mostly automobile accidents) are the most frequent cause of
 ML> death; after 45, cancer and heart disease are 1 and 2, heart
 ML> disease taking over as champ at 65. Accidents are violent,
 ML> but when one sees the term, one thinks of murder and to a
 ML> lesser extent suicide as death by violence.

Murder is not as common here as in other places, so my thoughts ran
first to accidents, particularly of the automotive kind.

 ML> As most of our current experience is in peacetime and reasonably
 ML> civilized places, you are overstating things a bit. Here are the
 ML> rankings of the top 10 causes of death in the US in 2008, the most
 ML> recent year for which the statistics have been released by the
 ML> National Vital Statistics System of our CDC.

 ML> 15-24 - accident about 50%; homicide and suicide around 20%
 ML> each, more homicides than suicides; followed by cancer, heart
 ML> disease, congenital anomalies, influenza and pneumonia, diabetes,
 ML> stroke, complications of pregnancy

Here the ratios would come out well over 50% for accidents - car,
motorbike, bicycle, farm tractors and industrial.  Suicide would be
much higher than homicide.

 ML> 25-34 - accident 42%; suicide about 16%; homicide about 13%;
 ML> followed by cancer, heart disease, HIV, diabetes, stroke, liver
 ML> disease, congenital anomalies

 ML> 35-44 - accident about 25%; cancer and heart disease in the
 ML> 15-20% range; suicide about 11%; homicide 5%; then HIV, liver
 ML> disease, stroke, diabetes, septicemia

 ML> 45-54 - cancer, heart disease, accident, suicide, liver
 ML> disease, stroke, diabetes, lung disease, HIV, hepatitis

 ML> 55-64 - cancer, heart disease, lung disease, accident,
 ML> diabetes, stroke, liver disease, suicide, kidney disease,
 ML> septicemia.

What about in the range 80-90?

Would alcoholic poisoning be rated as "accident" or "suicide"?
(Kevin says, "Natural causes".)
