E-Codes in SPACE!!!

Here's something amusing Kevin (the pharm tech) emailed me once:
So a few days ago we were talking about "E codes" (cdoes [sic] describing how a person has died). Here's what I found

E845 Accidents involving spacecraft
E928.0 Prolonged stay in weightless environment

These two are are bonus codes I found these interesting because on is specifically for "acts of war".
E926.0 Death by Laser
E997.0 Death by Laser during Wartime.
Yep, that's about the limits of my coding knowledge - which I know only 'cause they were pointed out to me. Sarah, you can have your spotlight back now...
