Of these 39 women...The majority of them - seventeen, to be exact - have died of natural causes. Ten have died as a result of cancer, four have died of heart attacks, two have died as a result of post-surgical complications, and one has died of colon blockage.Six former Playmates have died as a result of drugs - either drug overdoses (5), or adverse drug reactions (1).Five former Playmates have been killed in accidents - four in automobile accidents, and one in an airplane accident.Five former Playmates have no cause of death listed in their obituaries.Four former Playmates have committed suicide.Two former Playmates have been murdered.May they all Rest in Peace.

Good info...but alot of the 'natural causes' reasons are covers for drug overdose or even suicide. Family and friends don't want some things going public.
When you read about a healthy woman in her 30's dying from a heart attack, suspicions rise. Alot of these girls and women hit their life and professional highs very young, never recaptured that fame, and later on can very easily sink into depression with drugs, sleeping pills, or booze. Alot of these girls really though they would be 21 or 22 forever and always on top -- hitting the 30's and closer to age 40 than their centerfold ages is a shock to many, esp. if they saved no money (almost all), have poor or no job prospects (ditto), or are unmarried (many or most). :( Similar to other magazine girls, models, and aspiring actresses.
