Hi  :)

Pels image has made it even clearer to me that it is narcotic poisoning, although I had no doubt before.

Asked my OH for his opinion, he hadn't a clue what it was from and he too said narcotic poisoning.

I thought 'narcotic poisoning' as soon as I saw it.

Hi  :)

Late on this but I've seen a lot of Scottish death certs!  I am amazed that the discussion is  still going on. I would say that it is Narcotic Poisoning

What does the RCE* say, Tracey?

Couldn't wait.

The RCE is very clearly  Narcotic Poisoning.

Added - the death cert had cause blank. It was the RCE  that showed the cause and Tracey hadn't enlarged it enough. It's pretty clear really.

Hi,  :)

Thanks for doing that for me Gadget. 

I have contacted SP to let them know that there was a problem with the image of the RCE.  Hopefully if they send me another image, we will know for definite what it says.  ;D

For some strange reason, I haven`t been getting notification of further replies to this topic, so forgive me if I seem to be ignoring your answers.

Thank you again for all your help.

Kindest regards

Hello again

Within 10 mins of contacting SP they have sent me an `enlargeable copy`of the RCE.... which makes no difference whatsoever since I can enlarge the one I have on Irfanview. The image is no more readable than the last one was  :(
