      There is no such thing as ‘death by natural causes’ – this just means that the death was due to causes that are internal to the body, such as disease or something going wrong in the body, such as a heart attack. ‘Dying of old age’ is the same – it’s not actually age that kills you, it’s the illnesses that you were suffering from at the time you died.

      By contrast, an ‘unnatural’ death is one that occurs due to external influences – such as an accident, or something more sinister, such as murder!
