Died of teeth
Not really sure what I can add to that
Prest is such an elegant way to spell pressed
consumption? 1797 people were eaten?
~~I think that means alcohol poisoning~~
It actually means tuberculosis
Not sure if I'm being whooshed, but Consumption refers to Tuberculosis

"My teeth are killing me" meant something pretty different back then.

I never thought to combine deaths by cancer and by wolves to save space or because they’re similar enough. I can’t comprehend why they thought it was a good idea either.

So aggravating to not be able to sort by columns
Does "murthered" mean murdered? If so I'm surprised there's only one. TV and movies make it look like life was cheap in old timey London.
the King's Evil?
Well the king is evil.
Well I didn't vote for 'im
I thought that was implied.
::: spoiler beware!
tf is King's Evil?
Mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis
I'm gonna call it the other thing
Only 7 murders? The population of London was apparently about 400,000 back then so that's less than half the murder rate of present-day New York City (which is considered a relatively safe city). I don't think that can be right...
1632 London: 7 / 400,000 = 17.5 murders per million people
2023 New York: 312 / 8,258,000 = 37.8 murders per million people
present-day New York City (which is considered a relatively safe city).
Relative to USA. It would easily be one of the most violent cities in Europe.
Bacteria Virus Cancer Heart Condition Trauma Malnutrition Suicide Kidney Disease Heart Disease Liver Disease Parasite
What else am I missing?
Mostly, they died from a lack of medical knowledge.
