No, there are more deaths reported in there- among others:

Two adults developed acute pneumonitis and died after heating elemental mercury from a broken thermometer (estimated 1.1 g) in their home

A 7‐month-old girl died from respiratory failure after exposure to elemental mercury vapor from heated elemental mercury in her home

A family of four died from respiratory failure after heating elemental mercury dental amalgam in an attempt to extract silver

Yes, those all involve heating it. There are plenty of hospitalisations from cases when it wasn’t heated.
