Help with cause of death please.
« on: Tuesday 20 March 18 12:14 GMT (UK) »
I do struggle with handwriting and not being medical I can't guess this one.
This is from my G G Grandfather's death certificate, who died a 50 year old agricultural labourer.

The first letter looks the same as the E on the Elizabeth who reported the death.

Thanks
