I guess that someone who dies from a gun shot to the head .. could be classified as dying from a "accidental lead overdose" ...
There are also stats out there that ~80% of the people that die from a drug overdose... don't have a Rx for the drugs involved.
Of course, >1000/day die from use of tobacco products and another 50/day die at the hands of drunken drivers...
No one suggested that we should "track" those that purchase tobacco products and/or alcohol products...
