Post-war cause of death
Of the 200 soldiers that have appeared in "Faces of War," Faces of the Civil War and Faces of the Confederacy, an exact cause of death has been documented for 91 men who survived the war. Heart disease or heart attack is the most common cause, accounting for 25.3% of all individuals. This number is slightly lower than that for modern American males (27.7%), according to the Centers for Disease Control 2004 statistics for white men of all ages.
