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

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.

Bit with a mad dog

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

Died of teeth

Not really sure what I can add to that

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Toddlers and Kindergartners basically, still teething. Of whatever cause, too many and too difficult to tell.

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

How did someone die of sciatica?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Could be pain in the sciatic area that was actually caused by something else, like septic kidneys or an internal tumor

Just snapped right in half.

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

Grief

So death by heartbreak is possible

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

[–] Anticorp 10 points 2 months 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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 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.

Bacteria Virus Cancer Heart Condition Trauma Malnutrition Suicide Kidney Disease Heart Disease Liver Disease Parasite

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 .
