Deciphering medical term.
« on: Monday 23 February 26 12:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am trying to decipher the medical term used for my Great x 2 Grandmothers death, I can make out Decay of, but cant be certain after that. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?

Nature?
Just old age perhaps.

Many thanks for the repiles, the curl under the first letter threw me slightly, so I thought it was a Y or G.  My Great x2 Grandmother was only 62, so had been ill for 4 years.

<<Great x2 Grandmother was only 62, so had been ill for 4 years>>

I wonder if it was early onset dementia (Alzheimer's disease) then?
