I would suggest checking for deceased = NULL. If not then
leave it alone. If NULL then prompt the user to enter a date
of death and store that in deceased, perhaps after extra
confirmation.

It is. We may want to think it over whether we truly want to
restrain ourselves to the scientifically correct view of
single-cause-of-failure.

Yes. It certainly is a consideration. AFAIR, however,
cause_of_death wasn't saved from the health issue widget so
far - that might save us and we can just drop in the
constraint (after evaluation) ;-)
