No sure where you got that notion from, but it's way off the mark. The latest figures released by the ONS (up to and including mid-October) state that 484,206 deaths have been registered in the UK so far this year, which is 55,092 more than the five-year average.

The figures for August were either almost bang on or slightly above the five-year average.
