The date of death may be an approximation between two or more days; the actual date of death is unknown and the date of death is stored in a string of text. For example, the date of death may be between 1 February and 2 February 1999.
Accurate cause of death information is important to the public health sector and medical researchers to evaluate and develop measures to improve the health of Australians generally. It is also important to family members, now and for the future, to know what caused a loved one's death and to be aware of conditions that may occur in other family members.
