I’m starting to get a bit freaked out by this stuff.
Does anyone have numbers? Actual numbers?
Read, “Cause Unkown” by Edward Dowd.
I don’t have time...but wish some industrious FReeper would have a running thread on this.
The best numbers are from Ed Dowd who is a numbers guy from Wall Street. He has actuary data from insurance companies and it is compelling.
He has a new book out called “Cause Unknown”. Embedded interview with him at that link with a synopsis of numbers.
Yeah I won’t to know too. It seems like random unexpected deaths are shooting up, but I want to see current numbers against prior years to make sure it’s not just a case of more people paying attention as opposed to an actual spike in the all cause death rate.

I saw this earlier today. I don't know if it's accurate or not.
In my personal life, I've been to a good number of wakes over the past year, including the son of a co-worker who was only 26 years old.
