Could someone please decipher the cause of death please, and explain what it means.
Thank you

The only bit I understand is "Coma" lol

Suppurative Nephritis
Uraemia
Coma

In summary - bad kidneys.

Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys - can be acute or chronic
Suppurative nephritis would be infected and inflamed kidneys, probably oozing the gunk caused by the infection.
Uremia means the uric acid which the kidneys are supposed to excrete via the bladder has got into the blood stream.  So I'd say it was acute nephritis.  Uraemia if not brought under control is fatal and the patient lapses into a terminal coma.  I saw a guy die from it once and he was SICK!

Hi ,
My twins brothers were hospitalised with it back in the 1950's when they were three years old.
Very rare and deadly, they survived. Inflammation of the kidneys.
