Very interesting. Thanks for clarifying.Well in fact no, most of them died from the drugs that they were given when the medical establishment went way over the top in treatment regimes (*). But I believe the cause of death was officially listed as pneumonia, yes. That is what SARS was - just a label for a type of pneumonia.
(*) Source: Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, HKU Chair of microbiology, as quoted in the SCMP 9 May 2003: "He said most Sars patients died because of the serious side-effects of the steroids"
Moreover, there are dozens of people who were crippled for the rest of their lives by the panicked reaction and treatment, many of whom were subsequently found not to even be carrying the virus allegedly responsible for SARS at all! (The Government has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation and lifetime healthcare costs to this unfortunates.)
