Category:Causes of death

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Vital statistics generally distinguish specific injuries and diseases as cause of death, from general categories like homicide, accident, and death by natural causes as manner of death. Both are listed in this category, as are both proximal and root causes of death.

An injury that could be fatal is called major trauma; see also Category:Injuries.
