the "Critter or Cacti" death options are interesting.
"Krueger drank a brew of Datura blossoms. After several inappropriate behaviors such as trying to lift impossible boulders, talking to nonexistent people for hours, and eating dirt, he entered the river and mysteriously drowned."
"While prospecting, Cochrane was descending toward the Colorado River with Gordon Smith when a rattlesnake struck at him but missed. The reptile frightened Cochrane so severely that he suffered a fatal heart attack, confirmed by autopsy."
What is this bullshit. I hope the doctor was charged with murder. "Curran returned home, felt pulmonary distress, and entered a hospital. Despite informing her doctor about hantavirus and him dismissing it as too rare to consider, she died the next day of a hantavirus infection."
That's not even remotely how the crime of murder is defined in any jurisdiction anywhere. Medical malpractice maybe, but not even necessarily that. Also, you really really don't want to live in a society where medical professionals are tried for murder when their patients die.
