Bengaluru city alone has registered 87,082 deaths from all causes from January to June 15, 2021, as per BBMP data.

Karnataka has recorded 3,37,580 (3.37 lakh) deaths from all causes between January 1 and June 15 this year, according to its civil registration system (CRS). This is many more than the deaths recorded between January and June in pre-pandemic years. While in 2019 there were 2.35 lakh deaths in this six month period, the state saw 2.24 lakh deaths between January and June in 2018.

This means Karnataka has reported an ‘excess’ of 1,02,429 deaths between January 1 and June 15, 2021 compared to the January 1-June 30 period in 2019. Worryingly, this number is five times the official COVID-19 death toll of 21,048 recorded for the period in the state. While not all of these ‘excess’ deaths may be due to COVID-19, a majority are likely to be, believe experts — but this has not been reflected in the state’s medical bulletins. It must also be noted that this number is likely to go up significantly as the laws mandate that a death should be notified only within 21 days of occurrence.

On average, Karnataka issued 4,57,669 death certificates for five years between 2015 and 2019. The number of mortalities have gradually increased year-on-year. (Note: The all-cause mortality data from Karnataka for 2020 is not available.)
