I did do the math on it and the second guy only had a 1 in 3630 chance of dying of natural causes in that time window.

I admit I am not a stats guy. Please tell me what I did wrong in my math. Totally open to being corrected here.

I felt no need to respond because you twice didn't answer the question I asked.

What are the odds that a 45 year old would die in a 75 day time period?

Just a simple number and how you got it. This is the third time I have asked.
