I think that some homicides (a different thing from "murder," which is a legal standard) are natural human endings, in the sense that I mean "natural." (I think that the phrase "natural causes" as a cause of death is pretty silly--after all, no matter what a person dies from, if it wasn't natural for a human to die from it, the person wouldn't die.)
On a planet that trees share with tool-using animals, yes, I think that ending as a stump is a natural end for some trees.
