So a close friend of mine died yesterday, currently 'unexplained'. It was the morning after his birthday, he went out the night before, came home and by the morning he was dead. He was my martial arts instructor for over 10 years but was my age (he was junior Sensei under his Dad until he was 21). This will be my 5th funeral, the 4th of which was an early death. Two have been violent deaths under 20 years old, one suicide (under 25) and this so far unexplained at 28. Only my grandpa died from natural causes at 90. My mum said she didn't go to a single funeral until she was in her 40's and has only been to four in total at the age of 60.

Is this fairly normal for this day and age or not?
