*Completed Thanks* Cause of death?
« on: Sunday 08 November 09 10:25 GMT (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can work this one out; it is a cause of death for a 51 year old gentleman in 1909 in India?

Many thanks

I think that says Syncope.

Which is the medical term for fainting, a sudden, usually temporary, loss of consciousness generally caused by insufficient oxygen in the brain either through cerebral hypoxia or through hypotension, but possibly for other reasons.

I agree it is Syncope.
It was often given as cause of death in the old days when nowadays it is given as stroke.
