SOTT has one of the most unusual obituary sections.

And judging from that, we can see getting struck down is much more common than we thought!

Illusionoffreedom I think that's the point. Or rather - the implication that such occurrences are becoming more frequent. Thought there is a problem that there are many more people now than in the past, so sheer number of hits doesn't account for much, in statistics.
