In its original form, this data contains 27 demographic variables and information of over 40,000 deaths that have occurred in Cook County which fall under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Medical Examiners office. The variables of interest that are included in the data are date of incident, date of death, age, gender, race, Hispanic origin, manner of death, cause of death, incident zip code, and incident city.
