It's very true that there is consensus...because death is a huge topic. There is death from accident, from disease...which in turn can come from something one has done to one's body to make it sick. or death can be the result from disease which is genetic...there is suicide...or homicide. ....all these types of death would be shown by different astrological indications.
If you are talking about TIMING a death of someone already sick...again...is the sickness advanced? Is it feared but not active?
Most astrologers will not "time" death. Sometimes there are so many indications of doom - or impending doom...when one is looking for it......and then it passes.... so the astrologer doesn't want to speculate about the timing of death. The chance of giving a wrong prediction is great.
Personally, I don't attempt it.
