Apart from war and accidents, most of the deceased seem to have passed away from cancer, usually listed as the 2nd most likely killer of Americans, after heart attack in 1st place. However, until later in life cancer is the primary killer. See mortality charts and Yul Brynner's Don't Smoke.
About 32/650 = 0.0492 of us, roughly 4.92%, have died since 1967.
Cumulatively, about 49 per thousand of us have died. The age-specific
mortality rate was about 20/1000 per year at 57 in Australia in 1960.
The U.S.A. mortality rate is about 9 per thousand per year at 57 in 2007,

just a little higher than our infant mortality. See Longevity.
If you have survived to 58, you can expect to live another 24.7 years to 82.7, according to US Actuarial Charts.
NY Times headline: US Life Expectancy Hits new High.
