Cause of death will be recorded on the death certificate. I wouldn't read too much into the military cover up side of things. There was far worse going on that wasn't covered up (to my knowledge) on exercises like Ex Tiger.

Fortunately I know the cause of death and everything the death certificate would tell me.
Thank you anyway, Jordan

He is still counted as a WW2 Death although the V Day Europe and Japan had occurred.

Many men and women were still in the Middle East  and in the Pacific Theatre at that date.      It took many months  to administer the transition to Peace.

For example, my father was in Alexandria in the summer of 1945.        Until  Japan surrendered,  there were contingency plans to re-deploy soldiers from the Middle East to the Pacific Theatre.
