The 4 categories of death are homicide, suicide, accidental and natural death.

Ischaemic heart disease is the disease that has the highest mortality rate.

The world's biggest killer is ischaemic heart disease, responsible for 16% of the world's total deaths.

Since 2000, the largest increase in deaths has been for this disease, rising by more than 2 million to 8.9 million deaths in 2019.

Coronary Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in developing countries.

Qatar is the country that has the lowest death rate.

Qatar has the lowest mortality rate in the world of 1.244 deaths per 1,000 people.

The most common manner of death is natural causes followed by accidents.

Natural death is caused by interruption and failure of body functions resulting from age or disease.

This is the most common manner of death.

 Accidental death is caused by unplanned events, such as a car accident or falling from a ladder.

The number 1 cause of death in the world is heart disease.

The world's biggest killer is ischaemic heart disease, responsible for 16% of the world's total deaths.

Since 2000, the largest increase in deaths has been for this disease, rising by more than 2 million to 8.9 million deaths in 2019.

The different signs of death include.

Eyes tear or glaze over.
Pulse and heartbeat are irregular or hard to feel or hear.
Body temperature drops.
Skin on their knees, feet, and hands turns a mottled bluish-purple (often in the last 24 hours)
Breathing is interrupted by gasping and slows until it stops entirely.

Molecular death is also known as a cellular death.

Molecular Death refers to the death of cells.

Signs of death are those that indicate that the organism has ceased to live.

Cessation of the necessary functions may give rise to apparent death, but without other indications it cannot be diagnosed with certainty.

The stages of dying include 3 main stages of dying but also some other stages as well.

The 3 main stages of dying are the early stage, the middle stage and the last stage.

These stages of dying are marked by various changes in the persons responsiveness and functioning.

However, it is important to keep mind that the timing of each stage and the symptoms experienced can vary from person to person.

The 7 stages of dying are.

Loss of Appetite. This is perhaps the most culturally aware sign of impending passing.
Drowsiness and Fatigue.
Discolored Skin.
Mental Confusion.
Labored Breath.
Kidney Failure.
Cool Extremities.

Things you should not say to a dying person include.

How are you feeling?”
“Everything happens for a reason.”
“I'm sure you'll get better!”
“You don't look very sick!”
“You're going to a better place/ you'll be with God soon.”
Ignoring the elephant in the room altogether.

You will be well.
It is God's will.
Everything happens for a reason.
You look so skinny.

Some people are scared when they're dying while others are at peace with dying and some people look forward to dying.

People who are dying can feel scared that they will be left alone to die, without anyone to listen to them or look after them.

It is important to allow them time to talk.

Don't change the subject, even if one of you starts crying.

Crying is a very normal reaction and can release a lot of feelings and emotions.

Dying patients raise their arms due to a natural reflex that occurs during the dying process which is known as the Lazarus reflex.

The Lazarus reflex is a reflex movement in brain-dead or brainstem failure patients, which causes them to briefly raise their arms and drop them crossed on their chests (in a position similar to some Egyptian mummies).

Some dying patients also raise their arms to help them breathe better as they are dying.

When someone is dying the person usually stares when they are dying because the persons pupils are unresponsive.

This causes the pupils to be fixed and appear as them staring.

The dying persons extremities may feel hot or cold to our touch, and sometimes their nails might have a bluish tinge.

This is due to poor circulation which is a very natural phenomenon when death approaches because the heart is slowing down.

A month before death or even 1 to 3 months before death the person who is dying will sleep or doze more.

Eat and drink less. Withdraw from people and stop doing things they used to enjoy.

Dying of old age simply means that the person was old and died of natural causes.

As a person ages the person suffers from organ failure, heart failure, heart disease etc.

The old age death is a cause of one or more of those issues that occurs due to old age.

An old age death is a natural cause death.

Respiratory and Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of natural death.

When someone dies of natural causes it means that the person died due to health issues or just of organs naturally failing.

A natural cause death simply means that the person did not commit suicide or was not murdered or died in an accident etc.

When a person is old and dies it's usually marked as the person died of natural causes such as heart failure, stroke, etc.

When a death certificate says a person's death was “natural,” it is really ruling out the involvement of external causes.

The person did not take their own life and they were not killed by somebody else or in an accident such as a car crash or drug overdose.

A death by natural causes results from an illness or an internal malfunction of the body not directly caused by external forces, other than infectious disease.

For example, a person dying from complications from influenza and/or pneumonia (infections), cancer, a stroke, a heart attack (internal body malfunctions), or sudden heart failure would most likely be listed as having died from natural causes.

"Death by natural causes" is sometimes used as a euphemism for "dying of old age", which is considered problematic as a cause of death (as opposed to a specific age-related disease); there are also many non-age-related causes of "natural" death, for legal manner-of-death purposes.

An unnatural death results from an external cause, typically including homicides, suicides, accidents, medical errors, alcohol intoxications and drug overdoses.

Jurisdictions differ in how they categorize and report unnatural deaths, including level of detail and whether they are considered a single category with subcategories, or separate top-level categories.

There is no international standard on whether or how to classify a death as natural vs. unnatural.

"Mechanism of death" is sometimes used to refer to the proximate cause of death, which might differ from the cause that is used to classify the manner of death.

For example, the proximate cause or mechanism of death might be brain ischemia (lack of blood flow to the brain), caused by a malignant neoplasm (cancer), in turn caused by a dose of ionizing radiation administered by a person with intent to kill or injure, leading to certification of the manner of death as "homicide".

The manner of death can be recorded as "undetermined" if there is not enough evidence to reach a firm conclusion.

For example, the discovery of a partial human skeleton indicates a death, but might not provide enough evidence to determine a cause.
