So, one suicide, two accidents, and two from natural causes.  That's the strangest deaths they could find in what is a fairly large group?

And for Roman emperors, a vigorous stabbing was natural causes anyway...

Really daft to question the idea that Carus might have succumbed to one because he was militarily successful!
