Would you die of Eczema?

Or was it the convulsions that killed her,but they were just stating that she also had eczema?

I would think most likely, eczema not a likely cause of death.

Added:

Your query prompted me to ask Mr Google, if you put convulsions and eczema into the search box quite a few results come up.  Seems that it can be associated with people with epilepsy, some of those articles made quite an interesting read. ;)

I know someone who has epilepsy and has to use a special shampoo because of scalp excema.  The two conditions are related.

I have similar request.

Cause of death for a two-year old girl in 1861 Edinburgh.

Assuming it says "Consequence of a fall" - but what is the last word?

"by Herself" could be what is there if the descending part of the "y" isn't visible and that's a captial H.
