 Can anyone  make out what this cause of death is as it is very difficult to read.  Be very interested to hear your efforts. Thank you !

I agree, Dropsy, 6 months.
The 'y' of Dropsy looks a bit like part of the word below, which is confusing.

 I believe that dropsy is correct. I did think of dyspnea ( angina ) but that long tail at the end through me off. However it does seem that fits in too with the diagnoses.
As for being 6 months that confirmed what I thought and the rest too.
 Many thanks to you all for your help !!

This is another piece of that same death cert. What age do you think is written here ? The guy who filled this death cert. sure managed to leave a puzzle behind.

Thank you for your response !! Much appreciated.
