Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Can't read Death Certificate
« on: Tuesday 16 March 10 17:54 GMT (UK) »
Agree with above interpretations of the certificate.
Yes these 'bits of paper' with blunt medical facts can seem very cold and impersonal and feel upsetting to receive, especially when one's hopes are raised for a 'lead' to address or kin.
However if it is any comfort you cannot read anything in to the absence of any family details on the certificate in case of sudden death or hospital death is concerned. Though the circumstances do sound sad.
Providing the certificate speedilyafter cause of death is established (by pathologist) is all part of the due legal process and duty of hospital staff and and in fact issue by the coroner of the certificate allows release to the family for usual arrangements to occur...
