Sure they do. Its just that now we identify the specific bolidly failure that killed the bloke instead of saying that they died of old age. If someone dies of a stroke at 97 years old did they die of a stroke or old age? Once upon a time the answer was old age, but now we put it down as a stroke, even if the stroke was a result of the body wearing down in its advanced age.
