What actually happens when an eldery person “dies in their sleep”?
In: 804
It means they were sleeping when they died. It never says anything about the specific cause of death. If you think of all of the illnesses or diseases that could cause a person to die while they’re awake, they can also typically cause death while asleep. The term is used to imply the individual died without suffering. It doesn’t say *how* they died, but it says they weren’t conscious when it happened, indicating less pain/discomfort than they might have experienced while awake.
