 +==== Conventions ==== 
 +  * Living patients should not contain any information in the DEATH table. 
 +  * Each Person may have more than one record of death in the source data. It is the task of the ETL to pick the most plausible or most accurate records to be aggregated and stored as a single record in the DEATH table. 
 +  * If the Death Date cannot be precisely determined from the data, the best approximation should be used. 
 +  * Valid Concepts for the cause_concept_id have domain_id='​Condition'​.
