Title: Death certificate cause of death
Post by: Browny1 on Thursday 22 June 23 11:17 BST (UK)

Just received a death certificate today. I can't work out the full cause of death. The first words I think are Exostosis of, but the next 2 words I haven't been able to figure out. Wondering if another pair of eyes can work it out.

Thanks in advance

Phil

“exostosis” is a bone spur – perhaps the other word is a bone of the skull?

Thank you for that. I thought it stated epilepsy but wasn't sure.

“Os Frontis “. The frontal bone. So a really bulging forehead, or a big lump

Wow, thanks for that. Think I'll look into that condition to see what he went through.
