RE: What does a COVID case make?

For instance, in the Summer of 2020 a Florida man in his 20's who died in a motorcycle crash was listed as a COVID death as he (most likely, his dead body) had tested positive for COVID. A coroner, when caught in the embarrassment that the case represented, tried to argue that COVID may have dulled the unfortunate man's reflexes and thus contributed to the crash.

This is one of the most amusing event I've read today. How could a 1st world country be acting like a third world politician or who is in need of financial incentives to satisfy his selfish interest. I thought this could only happen in Nigeria and other Africa countries. In Nigeria for instance, in 2020 after a friend lost his mom, he went to the government to get approval for his mom's burial, the person in charge told him to sign that his mom died of covid-19, which was false. His refusal meant he wasn't ready to bury his mom. The saving grace he had was that his uncle was a high ranked politician, who used his Influence to get the permission from elsewhere. My question is, what about other people who doesn't have any relative who's a politician, they would just accept the covid-19 status of their beloved one who probably died of cardiac arrest.
Thank you very much for this great idea penned down for our reading and educating pleasure.
