cause of death was "haemorrage from oesophageal varices,cirrhosis of liver,excessive alcoholism.



Scarring (cirrhosis) of the liver is the most common cause of esophageal varices. This scarring prevents blood from flowing through the liver. As a result, more blood flows through the veins of the esophagus.

This extra blood flow causes the veins in the esophagus to balloon outward. If these veins break open (rupture), they can cause severe bleeding.

Any cause of chronic liver disease can cause varices.

Thank you all very very much, xx does anyone know why it was an old image like that and not a proper Certificate ???  like it said it was 1952, this is so sad, no family names on it or home address  :'(

I believe this is the hospital then,

Whittington Hospital,
Archway Wing,
Archway Road,
Holloway, Greater London

Again thank you. xx
