Is there any data on how many people died which had no pre-existing medical conditions?

This twitter thread had some good info from NYC:

> Another common trend -- 95% of people who have died so far had an underlying health condition ... BUT

> Keep in mind those underlying health conditions include things like diabetes -- which affects about 10% of the U.S. population. Oh, and hypertension -- 29% of adults. And cancer, heart disease, kidney diseae, etc. That's a LOT of people. Not some tiny, sick fragment.

Note that preexisting conditions include high blood pressure and diabetes. Turns out quite a lot of people have them.
You probably need a "socialist" country to find someone collecting that data. e.g. : https://www.icnarc.org/
