Here is my solution:
tapply(zzz$DEATH1,zzz$GENDER,sum, na.rm=TRUE)
Dear R People:
Here is a little section of a data frame:
> zzz[1:10,]
DATE GENDER AGE Co DEATH1
3945 2009-04-16 M 24 Botulinic 23
3851 2009-04-16 M 35 Constitutional 23
8495 2009-04-16 F 49 Constitutional 27
10967 2009-04-16 F 47 Constitutional 28
11164 2009-04-16 F 26 Constitutional 28
15220 2009-04-16 M 49 Gastrointestinal 30
1207 2009-04-16 F 39 Other 20
