Natural causes means someone died from an illness rather than from trauma. RIP Roddy.

I honestly never knew this. I always assumed it was more or less reserved for old people who die of some opportunistic infection or something chronic that typically afflicts old people. If a 45yo guy dropped dead from a Heart Attack I'd say he died from a heart attack, not natural causes. But you're right. I had to look it up.
