In fact looking at causes of death: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm
Heart disease: 611,105 Cancer: 584,881 Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 149,205 Accidents (unintentional injuries): 130,557 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,978 Alzheimer's disease: 84,767 Diabetes: 75,578 Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,979 Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 47,112 Intentional self-harm (suicide): 41,149
Most of the causes can last a long time.
Even a heart attack might not kill you immediately these days you might linger on for a bit due to timely medical care.
So you better be ready for some suffering just like Ivan Ilyitch.
