Title: Help deciphering cause of death
Post by: kesaunders79 on Friday 17 January 25 18:25 GMT (UK)

I'd appreciate any help with what the cause of death is on this death certificate, I can't make out much except that maybe he was struck by something ???

This is the link to the document if it helps.

Goodness….

My thoughts:

Fractured skull …….    ………  temporal (………. backward).

Struck by an auto on Prov (Provincial) Hwy (Highway) County(?) Rd (Road?) 2
