And once again we are back to No Cause of Death Reported? Perhaps cause of death is not listed or included in obituaries. Whereas in Cuba, Dominican Republic, etc. the reports are actual news reports not just obituaries. Not sure, but it seems sudden deaths should include a cause of death...

These lists are always devastating. Thank you for doing this difficult work Mark. While I was reading of the baby in Ireland, this was another headline -- a 14 year old boy. No details provided yet: https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/beach-just-outside-dublin-closed-24737186
