What are natural causes that lead to death ?

Death by natural causes is a death that is not unexpected. It is not from an accident, a natural disaster, a homicide or suicide. It is also one that is not preventable. A disease process that has progressed and caused organ failure is usually the root of the natural cause. These are usually pre-existing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD. The disease processes most commonly associated with natural causes of death are heart disease and cancer. Others include stroke, Alzheimer’s Disease, and genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis. For purposes of health research, public health surveillance, and funding issues, cause-of-death data is usually more specific. The death certificate will list the disease process that is the most probable cause for the death and not necessarily “natural causes”.

But Doris Robert will always be remember.
