Thank you for your request.
The Office for National Statistics are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales. This is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information in the format you have requested, however, we have produced Average age of death (median and mean) of persons whose death was due to COVID-19 or involved COVID-19, by sex, deaths registered in March 2020 to March 2021, England and Wales, but does not include where there were no underlying health conditions.
ONS have also been producing Pre-existing conditions of people whose death was recorded with an underlying cause of COVID-19, deaths registered in 2020, this dataset can be found in section 7 of the Monthly mortality analysis bulletin. This dataset provides a greater insight into the leading pre-existing cause of death groups, for deaths occurring in England and Wales in 2020 that were due to COVID-19.
Please see 'table 1a, row 28' for deaths where COVID-19 was listed as the underlying cause, but had no other pre-existing conditions recorded on the death certificate, England and Wales. Table 1b represents these figures for England and table 1c figures are for Wales.
This publication will be updated quarterly. COVID-19 deaths involving pre-existing conditions is split by broad age groups between 1-64 and 65+.
There was a total of 9400 deaths in England and Wales 2020 that were due to COVID-19 and were recorded without any pre-existing conditions.
