The Demise Ledger Turns Mortality Statistics into a Gothic Interface
An interactive, theatrical visualization of global deaths, their causes, their demographics, and their stranger statistical footnotes.
Field notes
The page organizes mortality into disease, accidental-cause, age, country, and rare-death views rather than presenting a single undifferentiated counter. Its country atlas separates illnesses from external causes, with the latter including suicide and violence, while the rare-demise column labels some entries as repeated folklore or even forensic non-causes. The displayed rates are rounded model-based estimates, and the extracted counters currently appear as zero.
