Every population where people die very young has under representation of disease that people tend to get at older age.What the chart is saying is more hip hop musicians died of homicide than say, cancer.The point of Harry is that if cause of death is accident or homicide, it is hiding potential diseases that generally happens later in life than homicide...
For example, imagine you have a population with 0 accident and 0 homicide but with 20% chance of cancer.
If suddenly you introduce a big serial killer in this population, doing mass homicide, the representation of cancer will drop. It isn't a sign that there is less cancer.
This is a sign that people are dying faster for other reason.
Get it?
That's was the point of Harry.
