Don't take me too seriously entyti Send a noteboard - 21/03/2023 05:09:32 PM

For a drug overdose or a toxic exposure, either someone else did it to you on purpose (murder), you did it to yourself on purpose (suicide), or it was unintentional (accident). How do you get a drug overdose by natural causes (not murder, suicide, or accident)?

By not looking too close? A heart attack is a heart attack, whether caused by arterial blockage or by doing too much cocaine. If you don't look past heart attack...


I used brugada syndrome as an example because I know someone who has it, it was discovered late in their life, and could have killed them had it gone undiscovered. There are probably hundreds or thousands of possibilities, some more racially likely than others. How do you feel about the racial probabilities of the "or something" portion of my speculation? Is 'or something' also especially rare particularly among black Americans?

I know. I was just razzing you. I take your point, and concede that there are certainly genetic predispositions that can contribute to early death. Though assuming this is what happened to Lance is pure conjecture.

I'm mostly grandstanding against this term "natural causes," which to me is a stupid term. Most deaths that would be classified as natural are likely an outcome of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and overmedication (a decidedly unnatural state of being, though statistically normal), whereas getting mauled by a bear would not be deemed a natural cause, though it's literally nature causing the death

Remember when we used to say people died of old age? That term was retired (and rightly so) as we got better at scanning the body for what failed and led to death.
