It's rumoured that an old, long-last, friend died last year but I have
no other details. Never having to look before I'd assumed there would be
an easily searchable online database that I could check for cause and
date of death - but I can't find one.
Is there a way to find and view a death certificate from 2023?

Yes, there's a site whose url escapes me at the moment, which allows
such searches.

No, but this is the site that you want: https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp
- the most recent deaths are from 2021, though. When your friend is
listed you'll have to pay for a certified copy of his death
certificate to discover the cause.
If there could be a will then try: https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/sign-in
which is updated more often and will tell you the date of death. The
will, if there is one, and probate has been granted, and you are
curious, can be downloaded for £2.50.
If your friend's name is distinctive try Google, to see if his death
was reported on any of the local/regional newspaper sites.

was able to find most of the info I wanted (the cost was £1.50) but the
death was in 2022 (not 2023, as I initially thought) and it seems that
there is no way to get a copy of the death certificate for some time.

Go to the GRO site. Create a (free) account if you haven't already,
login and click on 'Order a Certificate or PDF'.
Chose England or Wales for 'Where was the event registered?' and Death
'What type of event was it?'
Then the question 'When was the event registered?' appears, along with
a box into which you can enter dates up to 2022.
Then the question 'How will the event be identified?' appears, to
which you can answer 'I want the GRO to search for the registration
and will provide details to identify it.' Then press submit.
With the name, date and location, and a credit card, you have enough information to get a certificate.

There are also some county based websites that have parallel and
sometimes more up to date info on than main GRO.
ISTR there is a restriction on random strangers getting hold of other people's recent birth, death and marriage certificates after Day of the Jackal. He had done his homework on how it (getting a genuine passport
in a false name) was done rather too well.

Some years ago I went to try and get a birth certificate and was asked
why I wanted it. I was told my reason wasn't sufficient and the request
was refused.
