  • – the numbers are lower when only considering deaths that list heat as a contributing factor on official documents such as coroner records and death certificates, but far higher when statistical methods are used to estimate excess mortality associated with heatwave events.

    Coroners should probably be reviewing the methods they use to determine causes of death where large statistical correllations such as +heat=+deaths are identified. But i don't know what bodily identifiers they could rely on, i'm guessing we don't shrovel up like a raisins soo.. might be a bit hard.
