Non-natural death in contemporary history

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Non-natural death in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries describes the term unnatural death, which is death caused by external forces, not internal forces, and includes but is not exclusively expressed by the list of causes: motor vehicle accidents, falls, suicides, homicides, drowning, poisoning, complications from medical or surgical treatments, and exposure to smoke and fire. Unnatural death occurs from causes non-natural, natural causes being disease resulting in illness, or internal malfunction causing loss of homeostasis within the body.

The study of non-natural, or unnatural death, is part of the disciplines of Forensic Medicine, actuarial science, law, and statistics, and is useful to governmental agencies and the social sciences.

The periods twentieth and twenty first centuries are described as belonging to the period known as contemporary history,[1] after the earliest conceptualization of the periods in history, was made by the Institute of Contemporary History, based in the Netherlands during the 1930s.[2]

Figures for the years indicated within headings indicate statistical data for those years, statistics are included for years where statistics are made available in media sources or by governmental agencies. Some figures are approximate due to rounding up or down in sources.

Further information: List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll

Non-natural or unnatural death is defined as being death caused by forces externally to the human body acting upon the body with sufficient force, to cause a cessation of vital processes, this being known as death. [3][4]

Accident[edit]

Drowning[edit]

In the professional opinion of the organisation for world health, the World Health Organisation surveying drowning deaths worldwide during 2018, drowning, as a sub-set of the group unintentional injury deaths, is proportionally the third most highest probable cause of death within this group, throughout the world, which corresponds to 7% of all deaths found to have resulted from injury sustained by individuals worldwide. This number accounts for a total approximated to 360, 000 deaths per annum. Occurrences of death by drowning in countries that have an average income per individual within the low- and middle-income range accounted for greater than 90% of all unintentional drowning deaths, while greater than half of the world's deaths occured in the World Health Organisation's designated Western Pacific Region and South-East Asia Regions. Drowning death rates were found to be highest in the World Health Organisation's designated African Region, and were at a rate of occurrence that is at 15 to 20 times higher than rates present within Germany or the United Kingdom, respectively. [5]

The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (known usually as the Nazi party) were a governing political party within Germany during the second world war. In the assessment of data of number deaths, death by mens rea killing, for the purposes of a pre-determined goal of eliminating members of a certain population (known as genocide), and responses to groups as a militant punishment for breach of law (known as reprisals [38]) is included:
