I knocked most of my real teeth out when I was 8 years old and the rest are full of fillings so at least I dont have to worry about dying of teeth....unless I get bitten by Marion's horse. Did you know you can get a coroners report if your relative died from "Visitation of God". On the same page as my unfortunate relative are the following: Compression of the brain That he shot himself being insane Found dead That he killed himself being insane Found drowned Disease of the head

Lyla LOL> that must be a record, thank god I've been there, and dont have to go there againLOL>>......Phew......... All these dubiuos causes of deaths certified by Doctors, makes me wonder what will happen when people are looking up what happened to us, will the medial profession and society get so far advanced that whats written on todays certs will be laughed at in 100 years time. Hopefully nobody will see things like teeth.......... Pat x

I just looked up my ggrandmother's death which was due to climacteric disease. It seems to be a condition of the menopause. Okay fair enough but she was 82 years old when she died!

I wonder how long it will be before someone on a soap dies of one of the causes listed here? They must get their inspiration from somewhere... My bets are on the dodgy pies, but I'd love to see someone die of teeth! Carole

One g-grandfather died of 'pressure of dilated stomach on fatty heart' - sounds like a lot of meat pies over a number of years...!

I love the Scotlands People saved images :-) not only do you get your own relly you get 2 more as well -

Ive been looking at all my saved images on scotlands people (I knew theyd come in handy one day). Not hilarious but here are some of the better ones. Killed by a Tramcar Scolds Debility a few hours Supposed to have been overlain Stoppage in the bowels unknown

A Great Aunt admitted to an asylum (early 1900's) for manic depression, stayed two years. On her release she walked out of the hospital fell down the front steps and broke her neck.

at least the man made his mark on the world She ,and probably died with a smile on his face.Fred.ptfg.

another great grandfather died in his early 50's of exhaustion. then I realised he had been a busy chappie - got a neighbour and gt gran with child at the same time and then when gt gran died a short while later he married the neighbour. In total gt granda fathered well over 20 children - neither wonder he was exhausted!!!!!

so now we have 50 pies and fifty pinches of salt,okay,but where do we get hold of 50 iceburg lettuce in a hurry,and how do you eat them all with your teeth stuck in a wormy apple .Fred.ptfg.

many thanks for your amusing deaths, i havent laughed so much for a long time , keep them coming . lol.

Those Pies in Tilbury Maybe the 40-50 others had theres with a pinch of salt? Pat x

Janet Have you got any amusing causes of death on certs? Pray tell us I havent as I have been able to get many certs from my rellies? I am looking forward to being able to get some after these threadsLOL> Pat x

This has GOT to win the prize for the funniest thread since GC (GR) started! I don't think I've EVER laughed SO much!!

The owner of the eating house said "we have never had any complaints before" and "possibly 40 or 50 persons had meat pie on that day" So, if you have a missing relative in Tilbury Docks area in August 1900, could be he ate one of the other portions of pie!

nite Denise & Marion, Pat x Must find others who have good death certs somewhere on the boards. maybe tomorrow we can return to the subject of daires, dhyereo or loose bowels as Sheila mentioned and then there will be no stopping us>

Is it possible that stopping of the stomach can be caused by lettuce??? All it would take is the 'tip of the Iceberg' Pat x

signing off now - much bedtime reading to do. speak again on the morrow if i survive the teeth! lol x

i know i keep going on about it, but this book make excellent and amusing reading you should all get a copy, wait till I tell you about the secret diaries......................
