Is there any evidence that someone dying in a car crash with COVID19 is being labeled as a COVID19 death?

Your claims seem rather hypothetical otherwise.

No. But that's why I bring it up as a hypothetical. This is the hypothetical everyone is supposed to agree with... Because the simple "COVID19 in the system when they die" is clearly not a proper definition.

In practice: The big question is the consistency of the "heart attack" case. What each individual doctor determines to be a COVID19 death isn't really consistent in that situation. It can't be, every medical scenario is different.

Elon Musk said it on Joe Rogan - so it’s a ‘fact’ now.
