Look into the cellular senescence of various reptiles.

Where do you draw the line between accidents and natural causes?
If one was to catch the wrong breath and get infected by a virus that eventually led to their death, would that be an accident or natural causes?

Natural causes in this case mean aging and disease. So an infection from a virus would be a natural cause.
lets say where u live there is a non-natural-cause of death rate of 10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year.
That means every year you have a 1/10,000 chance of dying, so on average people would live 10,000 years

One should be able to estimate this for men and women given current statistics on accidents and violent deaths.
