we've just buried a 29-year-old mate who exercised, lifted weights, ate a decent diet, didn't smoke or do drugs, and drank very occasionally.
what everyone would consider a healthy individual.
Eat what you like, drink what you like, do what you like. It'll take you at any time regardless.

It's pretty obvious they are going to move onto alcohol when they have finished with tobacco.
If you can stop then please do. Smoking killed my dad with lung cancer and my mum was diagnosed with terminal esophagus and lung cancer a month ago. Obviously it's everyone's choice how they live, but it's a very, very unpleasant way to die.I was expecting the way I used to ride motorbikes was going to kill me far sooner then booze & Fags

Yikes, what was the cause?
How many PMs have you carried out on subjects that have had cardiac output?

My mum was a fag head from the age of 12 up until she was 50 and packed in.
At around 60 she was diagnosed with COPD and now has less than 20% lung capacity, is on 24/7 oxygen and has signed a DNAR.
We are all built differently but the last 10 friends/family who have died, all died with cancer and were heavy smokers.

Funnily enough they also had no brain activity so perhaps they died of that in your world.
So in your world if a patient gets crushed by a lorry they died of cardiac arrest because their heart has now stopped working
Brain tumour in the stem partially removed 4 years ago resulting in partial paralysis.
Fought every day to get his life together, exercising, driving, working, exploring etc then in Feb he was feeling run down but carried on. Beginning of March he was taken to the hospital, the tumour had come back and was cancerous. Died on March 14th, Steak & BJ day, just how he would have wanted.

Steady on old chap. No need for insults.
In my world, using your example, if a patient's heart stops following being crushed, then they have died (resuscitation attempts excluded). If it doesn't, they haven't died.
My point being, regardless of the medical complications and/or traumatic injuries sustained which would cause a CA, a CA has still occurred.
Edit: some members have posted some touching posts in this thread. I recognise it would be insensitive to carry on with this.

OK, I'll pass your expertise onto the Coroner and Pathologists and we'll just have Cardiac Arrest wrote on every report.
I'm fairly certain that's due in part to a not insignificant proportion of teetotallers being ex-alcoholics.
Everyone dies with cardiac arrest. That doesn't mean everyone dies of cardiac arrest.
What you said is just wrong, as evidenced by all the known causes of death which result in cardiac arrest but are not caused by it.

I think he may be brain dead currently but he still seems to be alive?
Also OT, this reads like a weird school fete competition. If so, 630?
Only when i begin to sober up.
They flip flop on this issue nearly every year.
The only real danger in this is that 'some' people use it as a justification to drink every day. And some more than the daily recommended intake, as a glass is very subjective if you've ignored the quantity specification in 'this years theory' of a recommended allotted ml amount.
I'm very much: your body, your choice as long as your decisions don't impact on anyone else (ignoring NHS impact etc... as different debate).
