Deadly hotspots: What will you die of where?

We are all resigned to the fact that death comes to us all in the end.
What is far less certain is how we will go.

But thanks to the wonder of statistics we can take a tour of the globe to find out just where you are most likely to die of what.
Some are probably predictable, some will surprise you ... and just to show that we are not totally morbid, you can also discover which country you are likely to live the longest.

The first fragments of the California-Nevada daylight fireball were recovered Tuesday by Robert Ward, one of the most prolific meteorite hunters in the world.

Ward lives in Arizona and has been fascinated by meteorites since witnessing a fireball as a boy in 1986.

In the late 1980s he found his first meteorite and today his collection of personal finds includes space rocks from almost 500 localities.

Brendon Grimshaw bought a cut-price island 50 years ago... and still lives in blissful solitude with 120 giant tortoises

When he bought Moyenne, it was overgrown with scrub so dense that coconuts could not fall to the ground.
But Brendon worked tirelessly to transform the island into his own little patch of heaven.

Living in this unique wildlife reserve, he has survived tropical storms, sharks, ghosts, a coup d'etat in the Seychelles and a mercenary raid.
