Complete list of ways you could die in Oregon Trail?

Wikipedia gives the following (partial?) list:

...die from various causes, such as measles, snakebite, dysentery, typhoid, cholera, and exhaustion. People could also die from drowning or a broken leg.

But I'm pretty sure there were others (starvation for example). Is there anywhere that has a complete list of the ways to dies in Oregon Trail?

Based on the text present on the disk images of the Apple II version, I believe this is the complete list:

• a fever
• dysentery
• measles
• cholera
• typhoid
• exhaustion
• a snakebite
• a broken leg
• a broken arm
• drowning

In particular, I couldn't find any indication that you could die of starvation.

The 1978 BASIC source code is not the original 1971 version, but it includes blizzard, snakebite, starvation, pneumonia, and injuries.
