Measure population explicitly excludes patients who were discharged as deceased: AND NOT: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Hospital Measures - Encounter ED (discharge status: 'Hospital Measures - Expired')"

CMS32v1/NQF0496
Median Time from ED Arrival to ED Departure for Discharged ED Patients
The information on Stratification in the gray section of human readable states "Do Not Include in any of the Strata: ...Patients who expire in the ED�"
The issue is that neither the Reporting Stratification section of the human readable nor XML logic seem to account for this.
