I doubt those stats fully exist to be honest, either way it'll mostly be the elderly and their cause of death will probably be along the lines of pneumonia, respiratory failure, heart failure etc.
You'd have to rely on secondary causes of death being accurately reported/recorded which TBH they just aren't usually. There are lots of questions when a young/fit/healthy person dies, but when a 85+ year old dies of any of the above that's just a normal "old age death".
