How often will a specific cause of death be found?

FAQ 3
In the WiSSP series, about 40% of evaluations allowed reasonable certainty in ascribing a specific cause of death. This is comparable to other, hospital based series in the literature (if a hodge-podge of non-specific categories such as 'hypoxia' and 'prematurity' are not included as really indicative of the cause of death). Of these, a majority are fetal causes -- birth defects, malformational syndromes etc., while fewer are secondary to placental, cord, maternal or environmental problems.

Some of the dates of death you list are different to the official ones. Why is that?

ANZAC officers died at Gallipoli: Frequently Asked Questions
Based on evidence now available, some of the official dates appear to be wrong. When you read enough of the primary documents you soon learn that mistakes in dates were made all the time, and it does not seem unusual that dates of death would be mistakenly recorded, particularly during the times of heaviest fighting in the first week (25th April - 2nd May), and during August 1915. In such cases I have recorded the date on which I believe the death to have occurred as well as the official date.

Consequently it is prudent to minimize one’s exposure to really moldy environments. By “really moldy” we mean where there are large visible areas of mold (more than a few square feet) or the building has a “musty” odor because of hidden mold growth.
