How atheism explains the natural death? Many young and old people die without any health problem, with their own natural death. We could say it for old people that their organs are already weak and exhausted that's why they die. But how about young people who die without any health related problems, just sleep and die?

Death in Islam is called "ajal" - definite time span that every human being has on this earth. When the ajal comes you can't stop it, you will die no matter what, your age (whether you are young or old), health (whether you are sick or healthy) and wealth (whether you are rich or poor) can't stop ajal and have no influence on it.
So I want to know how this is explained in atheism? A random occurrence? A sudden stop of heart that cannot be explained?

Obviously atheism has no answers?

I would define an unnatural death to be one caused by murder, suicide, or accident.
Everything else would be natural, although some cases are a little unusual.

If you believe that life is basically a complex chemical reaction, which most educated folks do.... then it's actually pretty simple. Just like a match flame runs out of fuel, so does a living creature.
Now... if we could figure out exactly what sort of fuel living creatures run out of, then we'd be onto something...
But regardless, it's not about who has the answers. All we do know is, religious people DON'T. The difference between an atheist and a religious person however, is that atheists are still seeking the answers. And we don't refuse knowledge that refutes our standard beliefs. Why is that? Because we have no "beliefs" to refute. We only have the search for the truth. And I so wish that more people would stop living in the dark ages, and join us in that search, instead of trying to hold us back from it.

Young people "without any health problems" don't "just die". Plainly there was something wrong with them that their family or doctors did't recognize. John Ritter, for example, died from a heart defect that was undetectable until after his death.
A natural death is a death that occurs without outside interference: The body wears out, organs fail, everything stops. This is primarily due to age or extreme weakness.

False assumption. No one is good or "decent" Romans 3:10-12 as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; (11) no one understands; no one seeks for God. (12) All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, More than just believing in Christ Jesus, you must repent and forsake sin, seek His forgiveness, and completely trust in Jesus Christ. Demons believe in Jesus Christ, but they will not be saved. Most importantly, no one is promised that death bed conversion. No one knows the hour of their death. It would be extremely rare that a person who is an atheist for the majority of their would suddenly convert in the last few seconds of their life. It could happen and God's grace is that big, but why would you rely on that, that you would have a last second conversion? Today is the day of salvation. Mark 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (18) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Death is due to a health problem... always. It may not be an obvious health problem... but people don't just die... there's always a problem with that persons physiology that causes death.

For a young person to die in their sleep, it is probably caused by sleep apnea. It is a common and sometimes overlooked factor in death. You essentially get your airway blocked by your uvula which covers your esophagus and denies your brain and heart oxygen necessary for proper functioning.It is actually more common that you would realize.

I'm actually related to two people who have just gone to sleep and never woken up. You know what that means? I have to watch out for heart problems, because theirs gave out on them.
Common sense is apparently not that common.

I have never heard of anyone dying in the way you described...people that simply go to sleep and don't wake up obviously have some pre-existing condition. Join me in the 21st century, won't you...

It happens all the time. The body just stops working.
