Answer:

Jamestown was the 1st English settlement in America, it was close to a swamp so water was not that potable around the area which hastened and spread out diseases, thus much of the population died, in great part due to a lack of medical attention, medicine and nursing; there were no women in the ship who usually are more socially predisposed to help and care about the sick ones.

Of the 110 settlers who arrived in May 1607, over half of them had died by December. This was due to poor protection from the cold winter that had a massive impact on children and the elderly.

Many of the passengers died due to scurvy.

Overall, it was a gruelling journey and not easy even in summer times. Winter, itself brought with it a lot of diseases.

Whoever died on the ship, their dead body was thrown over in the Ocean, as was the custom. However, their clothes and belongings were still left on the ship to be used by others.

These provided evidence of tens of people who could not make the journey.
