Death certificates just say whatever the person who filled them out decides to write generally.
Even more bizarre is that Public Health services (think political) collate the #deaths for CDC/WHO/etc.. Doesn't even HAVE to agree with what the coroner wrote on the death certificate. Health dept can make a completely different finding and in THIS case -- apparently often does... The coroners are doing what they were TAUGHT.. The public health people do what they are TOLD in terms of reporting in a time like this...
