Let's be a little honest for a second. Overpopulation is going to happen, we get closer to one minute to midnight everyday. And that will cause an apocalypse, no doubt. But the real cause of it will most likely fall on two things. First would be using up our natural resources. So that would take away transportation, electric in most places, and heat. So that will kill off a ton of people. You won't be able to get the medical attention you need, you'll die from exposure, food won't be able to be processed and gathered.

The last one brings us to the second most likely thing that will happen: famine. That will kill even more. Think about it, how many people would be able to survive without going to the store and buying food? Can you tell me what plants are edible or not? Have you ever gutted an animal before?

That will decrease the population to about a quarter of what it is now, if not more. And, if you throw a plague on top of that, it's game over.
