My point is that life expectancy figures like this usually exclude anything but death from accidental or violent causes. I think the average life expectancy for a black male in America is acutally something like 38 years, when counting all causes of death.

You're sure of that? I can remember studying this stat in college almost 30 years ago, and it excluded violent death (and the male life expectancy was only about 70).

Yes which is why the age has gotten higher. But still, I would bet that figure still excludes violent death.
I was making sure everyone knew that the 76 figure is correct for this day and age. And on that note of a 30 year gap, education practices have changed somewhat in the past 30 years - believe it or not. When I was forced to listen to a teacher babble on about life expectancy 2 years ago it included all deaths.

Well, I'd re-check that. I was in an advanced economics class where we were studying life expectancy trends by region in the USA vs Europe. Figures excluded violent deaths and I doubt there would be that huge a difference if the current figures included violent deaths.

I've tried to find the details of how the LE is calculated on the web, but so far I've not found anything that is specific. However, from the overall impression, it appears you may be correct and all types of mortality may be included. Voilent death (ie: homocide) would hardly make a difference, as it accounts for less than 1% of deaths, so both ways of looking at the data probably yeild about the same results.
