death certificates

[xs]

I've been given the task of finding 'unusual' reasons for death on a death certificate
Family search has some info showing the original death certificate of a person but most are in America
 I'd prefer to find something in England, if possible  Not really sure how to go about this
Thanks

There is Old Disease Names Frequently found on Death Certificates

Just try an internet search on ''unusual' reasons for death on a death certificate'

e.g. this found:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths

Thanks for your replies
I have already put this question into Google and there are lots of answers for unusual deaths but I need a copy of the actual death certificate to view online  There is one website that actually shows the death certificates of people in Ohio and gives specific years to view etc but it is a case of reading through each one to find an unusual one!  Once I realised there were 40,000 to trawl through, I gave up!

I'm wondering who gave you this task, and why?

Do they understand that English certificates are not generally available to view online, except for the odd few attached to public trees?  You'd be lucky find much of interest there.

Hello Carol
I think I may have misunderstood the task  On reflection, I think the task must just mean 'unusual deaths'    I'm reading too much into it!!
