After publishing preliminary results of my analysis of the Mediazona data, I sent an email to the Mediazona team, asking to comment on it. I received a very helpful response from Dima Treshchanin, which I summarize below.
He pointed out that during the first period of the war (2022-2023), the time between death and publication of obituary (or some other notification) was typically two weeks or a month with c.20% cases taking longer.
