Everyday social media is chocked full of new reports of young, college age persons dying suddenly with no antecedent illness. Recently, a memorial announcement disclosed 12 students died at the University of Alabama and their shortened lives were being honored at graduation. I did a hand search of deaths at that school over the past few years and found a few cases of suicide, accidental gun discharge, and other deaths each year. I don’t know if 12 is high for a university of that size, so I did a PUBMED search on the numbers and causes of death among American college students.
