Reminds me of a conversation I once had with a senior sports executive. He told me they average 1-2 spectator fatalities every year at a certain well-known sports event. That sounded outrageous to me until he pointed out that there are 160,000+ people in attendance, and on any given day in a population that large there is a statistical likelihood that a few of them would die of natural causes.

3.19 per 160,000 per USA death rate

Course sporting event is one sixth of a day usually....four hours

And attendees at a sporting event won’t have those in bed with imminent death nor car accidents

Both big contributors to daily death rate USA

But still could be expected some might die

Aortic aneurysm or heart attack

Wonder I didn’t have one at the Swamp last fall when my Tigers beat the Gators
