Maybe Mother Nature is trying to shake us off like a bad case of cooties? Seems like we don't deserve this beautiful planet. The 'Ring of Fire' seems to be waking. There have been other volcanoes rumbling a bit lately
Klyuchevskoy volcano in Russia erupted shortly after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake in the same region.

The ash plume from the eruption extended at least 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) above and 36 miles (58 km) east of the volcano, the Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team said on Telegram. The group warned that explosions of ash up to 5 miles (8 km) high could occur at any time.
Details about the full extent of the eruption and damages are unknown at this time.
In the weeks leading up to the earthquake, "the volcano was showing signs of unrest," a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) representative told Live Science in an email. On July 21, a team of Russian scientists found a lava lake at the summit of the volcano, signaling that the volcano was primed for eruption.

This is good that it happened in a fairly remote area. It's a good release of the earth's energy. It likely will occur soon in other areas. The earth is letting its "steam out" of its crusts from tension.
The same applies to dead things and that includes people. People do not die, their energy is just transformed. It makes 100% sense.
