Dwarves get a self-targeted interaction with a 1% chance of success, every 2 years. If successful, they die. So the start of the fort is safe, but after then you get 1 death per year in a fort of 200 dwarves. More or less. Should be a rare wtf-moment for the player.

As interaction verb I'd use a speech file with a list of reasons. "Dwarf1 clutches his left shoulder, having a heart attack", "Dwarf2 chokes on a cat bone" - Dwarf 2 has suffocated. "Dwarf3 cancels life: Interrupted by aneurysm". I just need a nice list of mostly funny death causes. "Dwarf4 slips on cat droppings and breaks his neck".

The entries I need will always start with the units name, so just imagine a Urist at the beginning. If anyone wants to add some sentences/deathcauses, feel free. Best would be if all of them are genderless, meaning they do not contain a "he/she" or "his/her".

List:

Urist clutches the left shoulder, having a heart attack.
Urist chokes to death on a cat bone.
Urist cancels life: Interrupted by aneurysm.
Urist slips on animal droppings and breaks the neck.

Fortress Dwarves must have bad luck written into their DNA, this idea definitely deserves a mod of its own. Title should be something like '1000 ways to die: Dwarf Fortress Edition'

@Meph:

How about including Stupid Dwarf Stunts too?
When you run the syndrom there's 1% chance of random death, or 1% chance of a stunt, with 50% fatality/crippling rate. I saw Putnam helped you with a skill script, that could be used to give a bonus after a successful stunt.

Urist McHauler took a wheelbarrow ride to the bottom of the stairwell.
-Urist McHauler broke his neck.
-Urist McHauler gained +1 Agility.

Urist McKid tried the exploding cat-trick.
-the flying cat torso hits Urist McKid in the head, breaking the skull and jamming the brain.
-Urist McKid gained +1 skill in Alchemy Chemistry.

I don't think it's possible, but it would be an added bonus if the stunt they execute is somehow connected to their personality/skill, so not completly random. Or: idle dwarves have a higher chance of executing a stunt then busy dwarves.

Make it an optional plugin. Regardless of the hilarity factor, I still would prefer if my weapon smith doesn't decide to randomly lose the will to live
