We set out to determine how many COVID-19 deaths where COVID-19 is the underlying cause and when COVID-19 is not considered as the underlying cause using Public Health England (PHE) weekly reports on excess mortality (published since the week ending 3 July 2020).
This allowed us to address the question of whether COVID-19 is the underlying cause of death when it appears on the death certificate.
What did we find
While we found that roughly one in thirteen (7.8%) deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate did not have the disease as the underlying cause of death, this proportion has risen substantially to 29% (nearly a third) for the last eight weeks of reporting.

I'd be hesitant to say a MI happening when someone has Covid isn't a Covid death. Thats a tough situation to lay out TBH.
