"I think it's pretty common to hold onto people, to bribe them with things, say, a body, in the hopes of keeping them from leaving you.

Does God have a list and when your time is up, you die? Is it 'God's will these events happen? On the other hand, do tragic events happen because of laws of nature or the law of averages?"
