When someone dies of a stroke, regardless of age, the cause of 
death is considered a stroke. The same applies for heartattack 
and cancer victoms. But then there is someone who dies of 
natural causes. Obviously the there are some causes of death 
which are hard to pinpoint I have a feeling that those must be  
natural deaths. But I have never herd of a child that dies of 
natural causes. Is this class of deaths just reserved for the 
elderly? Do they look for cause of death in the elderly? If they 
do,please give a few examples of some of the simpler causes of 
death that are usually considered natural.
