I think for me, its either:

(Ranked by most to least likely)

  1. Heart Attack
  2. Suicide (Probably by Jumping)
  3. Hit by a vehicle
  4. Murdered by a family member

Suicide is possible for me but i am in a much better place then i use to be so i may have avoided that at least for now.

I drive a lot for work so hit by a car or accidentally murdered by some trigger happy moron who forgot they ordered food are both fairly likely

Climate change? WWIII? I dunno...

Something stemming from me being overweight.

God willing, age? Natural death as they call it, ideally 85+. If not, probably lung or stomach cancer. Hopefully in my old age, again. 🙏

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Just like the old fortune teller said!

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

My most likely cause of death is the same as most men my age:

Falling off a ladder.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 week ago
  1. Suicide as my body/finances will have deteriorated to the point where life isn't worth living.

  2. Cancer

  3. Heart attack

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Unfortunately mom & her mom got dementia, so unless something comes along earlier to kill me, or unless we get a good preventative, that is more likely my fate.

No, they weren't overweight or smokers or physically idle, my mom was a professor and kept lifelong friends, really no lifestyle risk factors. Of course that's only on the one side of my family, my dad died of heart condition that I don't have and I'm not sure about his parents.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Probably heart attack.

I'm physically active and in good shape, but it's genetic.

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Either cancer or car accident.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Whenever the government decides they want to try to send me to El Salvador.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Heart Attack or suicide. My mother and her father died from heart issues, not late in their lives.

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Thankfully for me, suicide are far down my list. I hope. Going to a professional to get my headspace sorted is definitely worth it. It would be no. 1, 3 years ago.

I'd rate heart attack as most likely, and other blood circulation related disease. Any obesity related affliction too. Cancer is in there somewhere high since I have family members with some kind of cancer.

Considering my bad luck, from very, very old age.

[–] unicornBro@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

If i get the chance to retire then it will be of old age.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Killed in 2050 by my own housework robot, which has been hacked by chinese criminals, in a failed attempt to steal all my pixel coins.

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Organ rejection/degradation probably

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The way the world is going, it could be anything from starvation this decade to the eventual heat death of the universe.

I don't expect heart disease will be the death sentence it is now in a few decades, barring a local or global collapse of civilisation.

[–] N00b22@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago
  1. Hit by a vehicle
  2. Natural causes
[–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Most likely a skiing/mountain biking/car/surfing/hiking/tragic boating accident would be my best guess, other than cancer... If you're not suicidal, a risk taker or into extreme sports it's most likely going to be cancer though

[–] ndupont@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Some kind of vascular accident or cancer I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Old age in my sleep. Most people in my family have lived to be in their 90's!

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

1 car accident 2 age related (heart attack, cancer, getting sick when too old to deal with normal sicknesses) 3 firearms accident 4 house fire 5 underestimating a sickness Edit to add 6 workplace accident (manufacturing)

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Most probably heart or vascular related ilness.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Melanoma. I've already had like a dozen pre-cancerous moles removed.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There's a history of heart conditions on my dad's side so probably that.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Heart attack, stroke, blood clot, or bleeding out. Being on blood thinners, I'd say those are probably likely things that will kill me.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

to much shit and piss

[–] lemmylemonade@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

an accident cancer suicide

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago
  1. Heart attack
  2. Liver disease
  3. russian bomb attack.

In no any particular order.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Me and my life choices.

[–] shaquilleoatmeal@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Hate crime.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Heart attack easy. Runs in the family
