Oh I've read it the wrong way around! Yes you are correct!

  Also it's unclear if there are other factors worth tracking, since the graph only lists a few. Heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory disease (not including covid), accidents (which I suppose includes drug OD), Alzheimer's, and diabetes all have higher death rates that the combination of all suicide+homicide (which again, is sort of strange to join together). The first two alone are 600k+ each. A bunch of those affect primarily the elderly though, so won't hit the average life expectancy as hard. If you track homicide separately, it's not even in the top 20 of causes of death. Suicide is not in the top 10.
