Men die earlier than women for many reasons including taking liberties and drunk driving causing fatal road accidents. When not driving, men form the bulk of gender most knocked by vehicles while crossing the road. Men also die earlier from fights, being shot by thugs and cops. 

That is not all. They are also more sexually careless and die at the hands of other men from adulterous adventures. Most also die by suicide via shooting themselves when not obeying graving from buildings or throwing themselves at moving vehicles. Women, though they too attempt suicide, are likely to take less final means by slashing wrists or taking poison from which most recover at the hospital.
