On the subject of accidental or unintentional deaths, the five leading causes are:
According to the National Center for Health Statistics (2017), mortality rates for unintentional injury deaths is 45.6 per 100,000 people. A total of 146, 571 people died accidental deaths in 2017. A total of 33,381 people had fatal falling accidents (about 10.4% per 100,000 population); 37,357 people had fatal car accidents (11.7%); and, 47,478 people died from accidental poisonings (14.8% per 100,000 population). Another primary source for tracking U.S. mortality rates is the National Vital Statistics System administered by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Statistics show that there were nearly 3 million U.S. deaths in 2015 at a rate of 844 per 100,000 people. The data here also suggests that unexpected death rates are rising. That could include anything from homicides, drug overdoses, suicide, infant mortality, and other unexpected life events besides natural causes. Since death is a rather taboo subject that most people prefer to avoid, the point is to have a strategy in place for loved ones before a tragic event occurs. Suicide ranks in the top ten (10) causes of death in Michigan along with heart disease and other chronic illnesses. See Michigan’s Health Report: Chronic Disease and Life Expectancy. First Steps in locating a Life Insurance policy:
You can also pay a service to search for any existing life insurance policies through an Medical Information Bureau (MIB) database. However, there is a fee for each search and are usually unsuccessful. The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) charges $180 for a policy search that will take up to ten (10) days. However, the DIFS website offers a free search tool but has up to ninety (90) days to respond. The DIFS Free Locator tool can be used to search and locate life insurance policies or annuity contracts. If a financial instrument is found the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) will only respond to the listed beneficiary. Was this post helpful?

Thanks for explaining that traffic accidents and alcohol and drug poisonings are among the top 5 leading causes of unintentional deaths. My brother has been drinking more heavily after the divorce. I'll suggest that he get life insurance so that his children will be taken care of if he passes away suddenly.

It really helped when you said that it can be a problem when there are financial obligations that you might not know of once a person passes away. In that case, I should make sure that ever document would be accessible to the people I trust, especially when I get myself a life insurance policy. Doing so will give me the assurance that my family will benefit from the policy that I will leave them and to use that to pay for whatever funeral needs I would be getting.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
