154. Death was not a problem for Kevin—dying was. He wondered what percentage of people actually died while sleeping in bed. According to polls, that's how most people want to go. But few do. He figured, with his luck, he wouldn't be one of the few. That left dying by accident or disease. There were other ways to die, of course, but not as common as those two.
