Sqad

There are many causes of sudden death in young adults all of which could be diagnosed by a competent NHS Consultant pathologist and the only explanation i can give is that the Pathologist requires a second opinion before the death certificate is issued.

I suppose that one of the commonest conditions is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, thickening of the heart muscles, often in the news because ot often affects individuals during sporting events.

Apart from a second opinion, I can offer no further explanation.

Thankyou sqad you have explained that very well. I was wondering if that was the case. Although have only ever heard them sending a part to someone else after autopsy and that was a suspicious death. As I have said before Many thanks and I hope you are keeping well these days.? Brenda xx
