Taking a break from newsworthy death related issues, I found this interesting piece on causes of death by state. If you do not want to read it, I will tell you that the most likely cause of death for Ohioans is heart disease, that we are disproportionately affected by diabetes, and that we have a higher than average rate of deaths from cancer, respiratory and kidney diseases, strokes, and Alzheimer’s.
Several points:
1. Ohio is a cauldron of death. It is not for estate tax reasons that people move to Florida.
2. Bonus points for knowing the meaning of Septicemia (disproportionately represented in Texas and other Southern states).
3. Casey Kasem is doomed. His family should not have moved him to Washington which is disproportionately represented by deaths from Alzheimer’s disease.
