If there's anyone I'd trust on stats it's the IRS and related agencies. Also, no Americans dying in a country that's been strict on lockdowns for the past year seems plausible, especially if the average when people could freely come and go was < 12 a year.
Literally every individual claim in your message is trivially wrong.
1. The IRS is not involved, it's the department of state collecting these statistics.
2. Japan has been in and out of lockdowns since 2020 like most countries in the world, and nothing particularly changed in May 2021. If anything travel rules are laxer since then with most business travel and family visits being authorized again.
3. Your statistical claim that 15 months of no deaths (previous data: average 26 days between deaths, max 81 days) is plausible is beyond absurd. Please show your maths, I'm not going to spend time on my phone doing probability distributions for you at this point because you must be trolling.
I'm appalled that you're spending your time trying to convince strangers on the internet that my friend faked their death. Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than to shit on those who lost theirs?
