That's not really the way statistics work. Statistics are for populations; you have 100K people, so many of them will die by accident, by suicide, by homicide, etc.
If we were to look at a 69 year old woman, statistics say her most likely causes of death are heart disease and cancer. I'm pretty sure that's not what happened here, though it's possible she had a heart attack while trying to manuever around some rocks and fell in a crevasse that hasn't been searched yet.
But notably, homicide as a cause of death isn't even in the top 10 for older women.
If you are talking about murder or foul play it's more likely that a victim is killed by someone they know.
