I agree a dip doesn't make a trend. It'll be interesting to see if this holds up over a few more years.
I've read a few articles on this and they mention a few death categories that are up: drug overdoses, car crashes, and suicides.
Also, you're always going to see shifts among the categories. As one type of death goes down, others go up. Old folks die of different things than youngsters or midsters.
You can't eliminate deaths. Best case you only postpone them some.
