In Nevada, The Most Distinctive Cause Of Death Is The Police
Nevada’s most distinctive cause of death — though not its most frequent — isn’t a disease.
It’s encounters with law enforcement, according to a new state-by-state report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Encounters with law enforcement in this case does not include executions.
The study maps out how geography factors into the prevalence of rare killers. For 22 states, the total number of these types of deaths was under 100.
The Silver State falls into that group, with deaths by so-called legal intervention at 82, a rate 2.8 times the national average, said Francis Boscoe of the New York State Cancer Registry and the lead researcher in the study.
Researchers couldn’t identify a clear reason why death by legal intervention garnered the most distinction in Nevada as well as New Mexico and Oregon.
