A new U.S. analysis of mortality rates during different times of year found that people are more likely to die during the holidays — notably on Christmas and New Year’s Day — and researchers cannot explain the yearly spike.
Family stress, the dread of imminent family stress, the alcohol consumed to deal with it, driving under the influence, suicide from feeling like a failure to society for not having a dream date for New Year's Eve, dashed (over-)expectations for everything to be perfect on that day... no, no factors there at all!
Some folks also just hang-on for one more Christmas or just want to make it to the new year. I'm always astounded at the number of obits in our paper between Christmas and the week after New's Year Day.
No doubt its the cold, the indifference, the christian insistence on a person's right to leave this world when he pleases by whatever means he chooses..natural death suicide, murdering others. vox

Probably too much fruitcake. I hate fruitcake. Or, what DrDick said.
Could eating and drinking one's face off be contributory factor?

death by over-indulgence... typical American Christmas.
+ cold + drunk.
