I didn't think someone so young could die of "natural causes", but apparently even dying from the flu or sudden heart failure qualifies as a natural cause: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_natural_causes

Ooof. Terrifying.

All "natural" means in this context is that the person died independent of the actions of self or others, its the "not manmade" definition. Had a friend go with an aneurysm at a little younger age. Its horrifying to have those nothing you could do scenarios. Hit me much worse than the overdoses, suicides, or car accidents, and I'm not really sure why.

DVT is also considered a natural cause, and if you sit all day, you're at a higher propensity to die from it: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/deepveinthrombosis.html

Developers really need to look after their health. Our sedentary lives are impacting our health:

Hopefully, we'll soon figure out ways to monitor and measure our health. Then dying from natural causes will never happen.
