I've been hearing about a lot of drowning deaths this whole time. I was suspicious about them, too. Drowning deaths are pretty rare. Now that I think about it, you do get a pretty good shock going into the water, especially as it gets colder and colder, plus all the personal factors. And it's that shock, that adrenaline, or whatever. Those chemicals rise right before waking, so people die suddenly in their sleep. They rise during, before, and after sports exertion, so people die of heart attacks then, too. The chemicals rise when someone's dancing, performing at a wedding, or onstage, or in front of the camera, or as part of some dance troop at a birthday, and then people die suddenly. They die suddenly after takeoff from O'Hare, seconds into flight with a planeload of passengers, they die of a heart attack, while talking to ground control, who are confused momentarily before the crew takes over the microphone. I thought I would check a few boxes to make the point but now I've written a book because there are so many boxes to check. I blame the boxes. Cheers

Good list, I'd also add sexual activity, I've seen at least some where someone has died during/immediately after sex.
