Accidental death refers to a sudden and unexpected loss of life that results from an unforeseen event or incident. This type of death can occur in various ways, such as through accidents, injuries, poisoning, drowning, or other types of incidents that were not intended to cause harm. It is different from natural causes of death, which are caused by pre-existing medical conditions or age-related factors. Accidental deaths can be prevented through safety measures and proper precautions, but sometimes they occur due to unforeseen circumstances or human error.
