This is one of those touchy topics that nobody wants to focus on because we all want to live a long, happy, healthy life, right?

Death occurs everywhere around us, but what is the leading cause of death in New Jersey?Well, the Centers for Disease control and Prevention (the CDC) has that answered.

These are the Top 10 Leading Causes of Death in New Jersey

In fact, the CDC has determined the leading causes of death in every state across the nation.

Of course, they tend to differ from state to state but all in all, a lot of other states tend to suffer from the same issue that made the #1 spot on New Jersey’s list.

Some are avoidable and others, not as much. I didn’t realize you can find out a lot about the people around you and the things happening around you just by a simple Google search.

(By the way: the CDC has also reported on things such as divorce rate, marriage rate, drug overdose death rate, and a lot of other, for a lack of better terms, morbid things about the state we live in).

If you’re living in New Jersey, here are the official top 10 leading causes of death throughout the state. Can you guess what took the #1 spot?

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the state of New Jersey, according to CDC.gov. This data is relatively current as it looks like it was most recently published last year on the CDC's website. 

Sadly when doing a bit more research, most states commonly see deaths caused by heart disease according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
