Evening all
I know this isn't really a genealogical query, but I'm really fed up & I thought maybe someone could help.
My father-in-law was admitted to hospital a fortnight ago with an infected finger and, much to our shock & dismay, died of a heart attack on Monday. We hoped the pm results would explain all, but we've just received them & they give the cause of death as pneumonia - no mention of the heart attack(3 actually - he was revived twice). This result is also distressing as we took him in blankets on Saturday after he phoned to say he had been freezing cold-put in a bed next to an open window with only a sheet.
Is there anyone out there who's used to deciphering death certs who can shed some light on this? I can't bear to think he died because the hospital didn't give him a blanket!
