Non-aging abstract unit bug, I'd assume.

agree with magmacube, it is due to aged dwarves suddenly realizing they are supposed to be fkin dead after materializing from the obscure database that is worldgen. been around as long as I can remember

Maybe they forgot to bring an important body part with them…

Yes.

I know for sure that this could happen in past versions, however its very rare. That is a historical dwarf would get a wound that shouldve been mortal in historical generation (completely wrecked neck, destroyed lungs or head) but they didnt die for some reason. However as they arrived to the fort as a migrant they just die instantly due to the missing vital functions.
