Now you look at the Daily Sun, usually it is stated reason.

They even put them in alphabetical order so you don’t have to read each one
Reporting by Coroners varies. HIPAA and other privacy laws affect how, where and what is reported. Families have some choices.

Just one example of which I’m sure there are many: When my wonderful step-Dad died in 2006, the rural Coroner (who also owns & operates the only local funeral home) tried to submit his death as COPD for which he was never even diagnosed. If we hadn’t had a letter from Mayo stating he had NK Leukemia and he died from it, his death would have been misreported. I think this type of thing happens all the time.
