Cut of the Stone is a method of execution. List is stupid. 
 

Overlaid, otoh, seems like a good way to go.

How did they diagnose gallstones in the first place?

I believe they started the diagnosis with 4 men and some ropes....

Scurvy and itch

Yellowbeard?

Over-laid is death by smothering in sleep. Mostly nursing infants, I guess.

Oh, and here I thought it was too much fucking....

I supposed if you fucked a real fat person that there might be a chance of both if you are a bottom.

Being married, is there such a thing as death by underlaid?

Yes, but it's slow and painful.

I saw King's Evil open for Saxon and Scorpions at the Sam Houston Coliseum in '84.

Doc: Alright—(Al groans) Alright! (clicking sound) I can feel the fucking click of the gleet! Alright, now I want you to milk his prick from top to bottom, and I want you to bring that cocksucker down. (Trixie nods) That's it. Now.

Well if scurvy doesn't get you then Malaria almost certainly will 

The colors of the wind will protect me.

Also, wolf?

 

Huh...  is that the real reason England and Scotland became the UK?

With the look of that list, I would’ve expected ‘Grief’ numbers you be higher

Apparently, "cut of the stone"  actually means surgery conducted to relieve a person of gallstones, so these people died during surgery.  Here's some lovely reading regarding this:  "The procedure, described by Pepys as being "cut of the stone", was conducted without anaesthetics or antiseptics and involved restraining the patient with ropes and four strong men. The surgeon then made an incision along the perineum (between the scrotum and the anus), about three inches (8 cm) long and deep enough to cut into the bladder. The stone was removed through this opening with pincers from below, assisted, from above, by a tool inserted into the bladder through the penis."


We are all a bunch of wimps these days!

Read The Butchering Art by Lindsey Fitzharriss for mortifying tales of 19th century surgery... 17th century surgery unimaginable

Looks like a fan of Falling Sickness. At least until they had their first radio hit.

“Made away themselves,” hmmmm. Is that code for suicide? 
 

Also, “Kil’d by several accidents“ is very general and seems kinda lazy. 

Or maybe they were super clumsy like Nordberg in The Naked Gun.
