Cause of Death? SOLVED
« on: Thursday 09 February 17 01:41 GMT (UK) »
I'm struggling to make out the top cause of death here - I can see the one underneath says chronic dysentry and I think the first word is syncope but just not seeing the second word. The death took place on board a ship. Any help greatly appreicated.  Thanks.
