If a person is 103, smoker with emphysema, obese with 4 previous heart stent procedures and has AIDS.....and they go on a cruise today, contract the Corona virus and die......what would the cause of death be?

old age?
obesity?
Aids?
Covid 19?
Stupidity?
poor life choices?

Years ago when my grandmother passed the COD was "old age". I suspect in my hypothetical, the COD would be Covid 19 but, for me that's not quite the whole picture . This is an assumption, anyone know the exact answer on how the stat is coded?
