What are the odds of dying in your sleep at home. not just in bed. sick or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low at your age: There are certainly a number of accounts of people dying in bed and it is a peaceful way to go. It is definitely age related and of course illness related. These are the two risk factors so as you age the likelihood increases and if you accumulate underlying disease, especially of the heart and blood vessels, then the odds go up. Take care of yourself and don't worry about this happening.
