        I’m pretty sure starvation is on top by a wide margin, but lots of starvation is caused by war or policies.

        I doubt we could ever get a full figure, but a quick google says 9 million die from starvation yearly and around 15,000 from police.

        There’s probably a lot of overlap between starvation and other poverty deaths too, i.e. how many people die from illness that their body is too starved to fight off.
