Why is France also an outlier?

Dunno. I'm a US nurse. I don't know how France does their death certificates. Wouldn't surprise me that they're more granular though.

Ah, thanks. I figured that, like the US, it was some kind of other policy that had a side effect of artificially skewing the numbers.
