What actually happens when an eldery person “dies in their sleep”?
In: 804
“Dying in one’s sleep” is just, dying…. while asleep. That can be caused by a bunch of things.
Whenever someone “dies of old age”, what they mean is that they either had some type of organ fail (eg. heart attack) or that they succumbed to an illness that a younger, healthier person could’ve survived (e.g. pneumonia). They say “died of old age” because it’s softer sounding.
