Will 2020 have the most deaths worldwide of any year since WWII?

Coronavirus alone we're at 682,000+ deaths worldwide so far:

But that's not counting all other deaths. Deaths of usual old age, heart disease/attack, flu, or people just getting hit by cars or killed by bullets on the street. Not to mention the usual wars in third world countries.

Has there been any year with more deaths in recent history than 1945? I'm honestly curious.
