The border of death as a doorway: physical proximity to dying
Nobody in this collection nearly died. Accounts in which somebody came close to death — through accident, cardiac arrest, surgery, or acute medical emergency — moved to a separate study, which is why this category sits at the foot of the chart with nothing agreed at all.
What remains here are accounts that touch on proximity to death without turning on it. The two readers marked none of them in common, so the figures above should be read as the near-absence of a category rather than as a measurement of one.
