your likely death if not for ctb?

[qewpie]

i'd probably die of cancer, my body's probably not in a good state now that i'm chronically ill.

i wonder what the majority of deaths are from…

 

[starboy2k]

car accident (thats why I have no desire to learn how to drive)

 

[Kurwenal]

Probably kidney failure, thanks to years of meds that were meant to make me happy and normal but instead just piled on enough side effects that helped to destroy what quality of life I had left.

 

[Vlad Tepes]

Probably one of the many, many physical ailments I've inherited from my parents.

 

[Cosmophobic]

Lung cancer

 

[hydrater]

My entire immediate family has had some type of cancer lol. Caused fatalities as well. My dad's doctor said it wasn't genetic on his side, but if my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa got it, then.. I'll just try to watch my health ig.

 

[ManOfTheYear]

Breast cancer

I got this recently from ChatGPT. Looking at my age group, suicide is ranked 5th leading cause of death. I survived liver disease (2023), was lucky not to get COVID as far as I know, and my mom is a fighting cancer survivor with a heart condition. To answer your question, I honestly don't know.

From the "Leading Causes of Death" table in NIMH (CDC data), (U.S., 2022):

Age Group	Rank	Cause of Death	Notes
35–44	1	Unintentional injury	Accidents
	2	Heart disease
	3	Malignant neoplasms (cancer)
	4	COVID-19
	5	Liver disease
	—	Suicide	Not in top 5 in this group
45–54	1	Heart disease	Top cause
	2	Malignant neoplasms (cancer)
	3	COVID-19
	4	Liver disease
	5	Suicide	Ranks 5th in this age group

These were for the younger years, fyi.

Age Group	Rank 1	Rank 2	Rank 3	Rank 4	Rank 5
10–14	Unintentional injuries	Suicide	Cancer	Homicide	Congenital anomalies
15–24	Unintentional injuries	Homicide	Suicide	Cancer	Heart disease
25–34	Unintentional injuries	Suicide	Homicide	Heart disease	Cancer

The majority of deaths are from, heart disease, cancer, and medical mistakes and medicine.

 

[dead dav]

Cancer as its in the family

 

[TBONTB]

Playing the odds...top 3 causes of death in the US

1) Heart Disease
2) Cancer
3) Accidents - includes suicide

So I guess the odds are on heart disease.

I would think that it'll likely be accidents or health related things (especially later in life, but again, anything could happen at any time randomly too, but just very, very unlikely). I'm in my mid 30's also.

 

[Hiro Uchiha]

Probably by inappropriately touching danger noodles. I love venomous snakes. My line of research was towards reptiles so encounter is not very rare. I'm respectful of them, but I can be reckless sometimes. Impulsive even.

 

[Irisse]

Most likely natural causes (old age). Women in my family have long lives.

 

[Bowerbird]

I'm Australian, easily distracted and like to look at wetlands birds, so there's always a chance I could get eaten by a crocodile.

Most likely natural causes (old age). Women in my family have long lives.

How do you feel about that? I would also likely live a while. That also scares me. Life certainly isn't easy when you're older. And I'd be doing it alone.

 

[Shadows From Hell]

Either COPD, or liver failure from all the excessive drinking I do.
