Died as the result of an accident/misadventure: For statistical purposes the verdicts of accident and misadventure are treated as the same, although in reality the verdicts have slightly different meanings. An accident suggests something over which there is no human control (for example, a tree falling onto the road causing fatalities), whereas misadventure suggests a lawful human act, which takes an unexpected turn and leads to death. There is some authority suggesting that the term ‘misadventure’ is without purpose or effect, nonetheless it continues to be a verdict returned by Coroners in appropriate circumstances. For example, if the deceased died as a consequence of some medical intervention (perhaps a surgical accident causing a fatal injury or a death resulting from side effects of prescription drugs) a verdict of misadventure will reflect that the deceased died as a result of a lawful human act that had unintended consequences. To return a verdict of accident or misadventure the Coroner or jury must be satisfied on the balance of probabilities that this is how the death occurred.

Brian Jones' death was also ruled death by misadventure.

In the USA, "avoidable medical misadventure" is the sixth most common cause of death.

Sorry. That is incorrect.

From personal experience and the CDC website, medical misadventures don't crack the top 15 in every US state.
