It was announced that another person in our company of 2,000 people passed away.

Late 50’s male. Died in sleep. Didn’t look to have a weight issue per photo, as far as I can tell.

I didn’t know him nor do I know anyone who does.

The probability of someone in their late 50s dying in a year is somewhere between 1.0% and 1.3%, so if you have 100 such people in your company, one is likely to die (on average) in a given year.

I've read recently, however, that the number one predictor of longevity is quality connection to a community (like this one!) Well ahead of getting exercise or stopping smoking.
