I am sure they would like to but are forced to be politically correct for the families sake.

I suspect that they'd often like to, but don't list it as the main cause, since it's not a medical term. They can list 'accidental', or 'ruptured spleen' or 'head trauma'. They might then be able to add 'Stupidity' as a contributing cause. The death certificate generally has three lines where they can list causes of death - One main cause (heart attack) and two contributing causes (clogged arteries, smoking).
It would be more truthful, I think, to list stupidity in many cases. When the time comes, I sincerely hope that mine is not one of them. In light of this answer, it would be horribly ironic, don't you think?

i doubt it but that would be hilarious
(September 2003, Mexico) An unidentified 60-year-old Escobedo man was still thirsty after drinking what most would consider "too much alcohol." He stumbled toward a nearby beehive, hoping to follow the beer with a bit of honey.
He thought the bees would surely share. Instead, they obeyed a Darwinian signal bred into them for millennia. Over a thousand noble fighters gave their all, sacrificed their stingers and their lives to protect the hive. The man, quite reasonably, responded with terminal anaphylactic shock.
A hospital spokesman disputed the theory that bees had killed him, attributing his demise to, "the stupid things drunken people do," and pointing out that he was otherwise healthy and would have enjoyed a long life. "The combination was lethal."
"Bees don't kill people, people kill bees."
sort of like this guy

OK--I think I have seen you posted before as one of the top people on this site. Well this is not a good question in my opinion. It is a little funny though. You should really take your over confidence into consideration--I read that on your profile lol. :) Maybe you could ask your Medical professor that question or your local coroner. Hmmm.....

LOL! Wonder if they would list cause of death as "Another example of Darwin's Law."

NO. I don't think they could put that down as cause of death.
Altho I think it truly is the cause many times.

no...death caused by stupidity would most likely be labeled "accidental".
