People in America die every day. None of us are exempt
from this final event in our lives.
But you might ask what are the most common ways we die?
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) actually keeps a tally,
and it is both interesting and informative.
The CDC’s version is somewhat dry because it mostly involves
numbers. But in typical fashion, someone at CBS with an entrepreneurial
spirit outside the agency saw an opportunity in the data. By merging the data with their own input they
could tap into the curious reader’s mouse clicks, thus adding a bit of
advertising revenue to their coffers. Brilliant!
Even so, theirs is easily read and you can see names and a
brief account of actual people who succumbed from each cause of death.
It’s interesting reading either way.

I survived more than a few of these causes, including the
Number 1 reason people die in America.
You will likely see some familiar reasons as well as some surprises.
You’re welcome.
