Death adjectives

I've noticed several adjectives used with the word death in health-oriented newsletters, newspaper articles, and advertisements:

untimely death
premature death
unnecessary death

Untimely, premature, unncessary -- all these demonstrate humanistic thinking, a human perspective, a worldview remote from understanding soaked in the sovereignty of God.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb 9:27) A friend reminds me "You and I have appointments, just don't know when exactly." But He will keep it.
