Uhh... you know, they don't perform autopsies if the family says no to it, and since 99% of the people who die are old people, there's no need to know the cause of death since it's obvious! Alternatively, if the person is in the hospital with terminal cancer, and then they die, then they died of cancer, not cellphones. It's that simple. There's no need to perform autopsies needlessly. Do you know how much time it would take to examine every aspect of each and every person that died? There would have to be thousands and thousands of coroners, and people wouldn't be stuffed in a pine box six feet under within two days because the corpse would be rotting in the morgue instead.

We would become a society obsessed with the death of our citizens, for fuck's sake, and nobody would go about living because we'd all be prodding Grandma to see if it really was her bad heart or a case of salmonella or her TV remote that made her kick the bucket.

And what do you mean not releasing the cause of death for "many cases"? The death of a person is a private affair for the family. It's up to them to release it if they choose. General figures are only tallied for statistical purposes (i.e. cancer deaths, heart attacks, etc.)
