Cause Of Death

The primary or underlying cause of death is defined as that condition or injury (or circumstances of the injury) that initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death. The question sometimes arises as to which of several existing conditions has caused death. Generally, only four manners of death are acknowledged: homicide, suicide, accidental, and natural. The deceased may have met his or her end in a way that appears suspicious to the authorities, and therefore, the cause and manner of death must be established. #causeofdeath,
