It's a term I've seen used to replace "accidental fatality" which
oozes sympathy and compassion, while begging not to be sued.
Topic drift at it's best:
I'm now on my 3rd will and working on my 4th. The problem is that
every time I inscribe someone as a suitable beneficiary, they either

my modest inheritance.
One of my first jobs was sweeping the floor at a mortuary. Death does
really strange things to people (the friends and relatives, not the
deceased).

I've written poetry for inscription on tombstones. None has been
"published". There's usually not enough available space, it's
difficult to be clever in only a few words that rhyme, and the
headstone maker wants too much money for all the text. These might
