Help reading cause of death
« on: Thursday 10 February 05 14:53 GMT (UK) »
As suggested in my earlier topic "help needed reading death cert" I have tried to scan just the cause of death which I am having trouble reading.

I did try to post this on the original topic but it won't have it so here's hoping:

Suicide - throwing herself out of window ?

At least that's what it looks like to me :o

I would say "Suicide by throwing herself out a window", but I can't can't get the rest - perhaps it's Latin - something Morte ?

Pretty sure it says 'suicide by throwing herself out of a window'

The last bit I think it might be Latin

'internal' something 'formidable'

or it might read 'witnessed by her family'

Have you tried to get a copy of the coroners report?

I agree with helen,

"suicide by throwing herself out of window"

Think that middle word might be 'morte'

death from formidable internal injuries it would translate as
