What percent of high school drop outs end up dead?

There's no reliable statistic that directly answers what percentage of high school dropouts end up dead. Mortality rates are tracked based on many factors (age, cause of death, etc.), but not specifically tied to high school completion status in a way that would yield such a statistic. While it's true that high school dropouts face a higher risk of various negative outcomes, including premature death, obtaining a precise percentage is impossible due to the complexities of data collection and the numerous variables influencing mortality.
