I got my standard response for these kind of threads- op clearly never had three emperors die in a single battle against 1200 men with 18k
Yeah, because I'm responsible and don't lead armies.
"Bad health" means the character was pruned by the new system introduced in Reaper's Due. The player character should never be pruned, I don't care what you have to say about RNG. There should never be any random chance of being pruned to make the game faster.
Edit: I can't believe some people actually want the game to prune their characters.

The problem is he didn't die of any of those things. He died of "low health". If he had gotten a disease and died of it, yes, that's perfectly reasonable.
Also, please link to the wikipedia page about sudden death due to being too unimportant.

No it does not.
Every character has a random chance of dying at any age, health just decreases that chance.
The game is not set up to give a thousand reasons for death, just a handful. Bad health just means one of the other many things.
Bad health is 100% the reason given for pruned characters. If you invite everyone you can to your court, they start dropping like flies of "bad health". It's the optimization.
If it doesn't have a reason, he shouldn't die.

It is given to pruned characters, but not only pruned characters as your previous post suggested.
If they want to give it to non-pruned characters, they should make the reason something that makes sense. Like "an unexpected accident" or "of unknown causes" or something. If I die of bad health, I expect to have been aware of my bad health before hand. I really doubt this was ever intended as a death reason for the player character, even if it did wind up being given for some strange reason.
I concur, we should start a formal petition to change it to "Randomly dropped dead."
Also pruning absolutely does affect the PC, I've seen tons of my own courtiers get pruned.
A) That refers to real diseases, b) poor doesn't mean insignificant, and c) probably no one in the game was really living in relative poverty, even if they are short on gold or in debt.
The PC's court sure, not the PC themselves.
Also if this is accurate then only the "vanished without a trace" deaths are as a result of pruning.
All of my pruned characters died of poor health. I think vanished without a trace is for event characters that you reject, or children that get eaten by satanists.
