Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me make sense of this? I am trying to decipher the cause of death for my Great great grandfather on the attached death certificate, and I'm afraid I dont understand a word of it! It looks like "Carnivore of Pagliloral Erachaushion"...! anybody with experience and talent for this I would be very grateful for your help ...many thanks

Would be grateful if you could post an extract of the relevant part. But from what you say I  suggest the words Cardiac and exhaustion may come into things.

Having blown up the extract as far as possible while still maintaining legibility I now am sure the last word is exhaustion, but think the first starts with P not C. Could pulmonary come into the reckoning?

Could it be re-scanned larger, so that we can see it more clearly please ??   When I tried enlarging it to reading size, it was just too pixelated to read !

wed definition of carcinoma - any malignant tumor derived from epithelial tissue; one of the four major types of cancer , so the strange word like epiglottis could be epithelial>?
