Aids?
Covid 19?
Stupidity?
poor life choices?
Years ago when my grandmother passed the COD was "old age". I suspect in my hypothetical, the COD would be Covid 19 but, for me that's not quite the whole picture . This is an assumption, anyone know the exact answer on how the stat is coded?
I tell you what, throw me in that briar patch! Sounds like s/he lived a full....and interesting life! I’d say living to 103 leaves out your last two COD’s. And you didn’t put dementia in there.
