[Avodah] Interesting Vort

I came across a very interesting insight which never occurred to me before but gave the "Ah ha" awareness.
We often hear that people die young because of sin, etc.
What was very interesting was that the first person to die was not Adam Harishon, not Chava, not Kayin, (all three sinners) but the best one: Hevel. 
And for Kayin's sin, he was not sentenced to death but ironically, he was sentenced to "Life" with affliction.
Consequently, those who are so sure that someone's death or suffering is a result of sin, should not be so quick to judgment.
