> *Did you know murder by males is the number one cause of death among females?

I've been hearing that myth a lot recently too. I checked the CDC to see the real numbers. Cancer (disturbingly all ages groups), and (traffic) accidents, and heart disease make up the lion's share. Even suicide is larger than murders.

I was wondering if they lumped in accidental "murders", like traffic accidents, they might get there.

But even that isn't enough.
