Kil'd by several accidents

Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Maybe some Final Destination shit where they die due to a series of random chance events?

I think 'several' just means that the people counted weren't all killed in the same accident. No WorkSafe in those days so those accidents were probably shit like roofers falling off chapels and apprentice tanners mishandling chemicals.

They had a lot of HP so it took several accidents in a row
