So if someone died of a heart attack or stroke during,or just after,the hurricanes would that qualify as “storm related”?
Those who report the cause of death frequently report incorrectly, based on how they feel about social issues. Two relatives, both terrible alcoholics, both fell and were found dead (I suspect due to massive organ shut-down from the fall trauma to their already disintegrating bodies)…
Both were also smokers, and their death certificates showed smoking as a cause of death.
While I am sure smoking was not good for them, the alcoholism was much more the culprit. But not on the death certificates, so not in the collected statistics...
“storm related”?
Isn’t she peddling a book someone wrote for her?
How about since. I'll bet every death on the island since is being attributed to and may indeed have reached this number. How many live there, how old are they ? How many would be strictly natural causes. How many would have been adversely affected by the trauma of no electricity for months, and no water.
With a population of 3.3 mil (probably many seniors) how much of a stretch is it to assume .001 per cent of the population have died in 12+ months with limited health services available.
