I'm sure that there are but if there are several causes of death on a death certificate how do we know what killed them? We don't. We know they had a couple of things up with them at the time of death and that's all we know.
If you look at how the death certificate is completed , it should show a distinct sequence of events leading to the death and states;
Cause of death the disease or condition thought to be the underlying cause should appear in the lowest completed line of part I
I (a) Disease or condition leading directly to death
I (b) other disease or condition, if any, leading to 1(a)
I (c) other disease or condition, if any, leading to 1(b)
II Other significant conditions Contributing to death but not related to the disease or condition causing it[/quote]
I think they're counting anyone with it mentioned and as they don't publicise all the death certificates or tell us the public who had it as main cause and so on and so forth, we, the public, don't know.
