Apparently this is what Sinead O’Connor died of, it’s just been announced. But how is a 56 year old just dying in any way natural in this day and age?
In: Biology
It is a nice, blanket term (euphemism) for they died of an illness, health condition or old age.
They did not die from murder, suicide, an accident, drug over dose, etc…
I had a distant friend in her 40s pass away from a heart attack one morning. Her teenage daughter went to have a shower and came back to mom dead on the floor.
My great grandmother died on Sunday of natural causes at 99. Her heart honestly just slowed down and she died over a weeks time. She had no major illnesses or history presenting itself. Her mind was still sharp until she passed. She just couldn’t get around anymore and was bedridden the last week of her life.
In this context it is just a way to say that there is no reason for the police to investigate the death (suicide, murder, drugs, accident) while preserving the family’s privacy. They most likely died from an illness.
I’m not an expert.
How I interpret it is by trying to imagine someone dying from the same thing 200,000 years ago. Would it have been possible? If so, then I assume that’s due to a natural cause.
Unless you’re a drow. Then a knife through the heart is ‘natural causes’ because that, quite naturally, ends ones life.
In the US, that is what we call the manner of death. There are 6 categories for manner of death; natural , accidental, suicide, homicide, undetermined and pending. If it isn’t suicide, homicide or an accident, it almost always natural.
