There's a very definite possibility that what people died of is lockdown and fear. More specifically, there have been some really worrying alarm bells going off in multiple countries about people not seeking medical attention for really serious conditions, or not receiving it when they did.

A close relative of mine had cancer surgery delayed by 1.5 months because the treating hospital refused to host the surgery. After they realized their hospital had been empty for many weeks, they called him and asked, "do you want to get your surgery three days from now?". He is recovering, but for him it would have been better to have had his surgery when it was originally scheduled.
