It's probably what you're paying attention to.
There are lots of shocking occurrences that most people don't notice. Or don't want to notice. Death is among the things we'd rather not think about. Unseemly death more so.
Consider how many US military deaths are suicide every year.

Or how many people are killed by police in the US every year.

Or consider that suicides are more common than either firearm or car crash deaths.
