Idk about these numbers.

~38k people died in USA [1] from car crashes. Thats pretty violent but doesn't necessarily count as murder or suicide.

Car crashes aren't typically included in "violent deaths", because the definition of "violence" typically includes intent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence


I thought about specifying some form of "human induced killing" but couldn't figure out how to word-lawyer it to be the group consisting of "murder + suicide".


Violent deaths are murder suicide and overdose per CDC programs in place at medical examiners
