This. And many (maybe most) of those deaths could be prevented with the right prophylactic treatment.

To be honest a study was posted here on HN (I can't find the link at the moment) where retrospectively (lots of confounding factors etc., but 2000-ish people studied) the mortality was about halved when anticoagulants were used.

At the same time the risk of hemorraging events was the same as the non-anticoagulant group.
