Acts of violence, fortuit events, acts of god, etc.
Death comes for us in many fashions.
So why do you suppose we would be losing so many more people over some reasonable span of time if it's only the unusual that is killing them?
Your opinion on this isn't very coherent. I suspect it is more tied to an emotional reaction more than some objective reason. You may want to explore why.
I'd risk deaths by fortuitous reason would rise, pumped by the sense of near immortality provided by the magic fairy dust pills. People tend to take unnecessary risks when they feel invincible. Think of yearly twenty years old.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
