Deceased uncle hospitalisation

[dawnsh]

I once saw a photo of him and know the probable cause of death but wondered if I can access any sort of medical/hospital history. The attached screenshots are literally everything I have.

Without the death cert, you won't know exactly when or where he died.

He might not have been hospitalised?

If he died in a hospital, you might be able to find out if any records survive.

There's a possible entry for his burial, 6 Feb 1940, Sutton Cemetery (London Borough of Sutton)

You'll need credits to see the full details.

Alternatively contact the cemeteries dept with the date of burial and see if they can help you further.

Thanks, I know from the photo I saw that he had a malformed skull and his brain was protruding through it, may be that this was partially the cause, as you say, seeing the death cert will help. I'll have to get it on pay day!

Don't suppose you would have any idea on how I'd go about finding out if he was actually hospitalised for whatever the cause was? I can't ask any family members as they aren't around any more, and the ones who are don't speak to me
