We er 'know' the cause of George VI 's death because the doctors guessed..
"George VI died suddenly and unexpectedly in his sleep on 6 February 1952, at the age of 56. Since the King had a history of peripheral vascular disease, it was assumed that the cause of death was a "coronary thrombosis.""
I always thought since I was top of a pathlogy class in one year at uni, that it was obviously pulmonary embolus. In the lung they left er after they took the other one out. This was a vain attempt to treat ca lung with pneumonectomy at a time they artta have known the op didnt work.
.Is there a second opinion in the grand tradition of getting it right even fifty years later. Yup. here.

Top of a pathology class and here am I writing unread posts on AB. Such is life. Someone asked for chrissakes. Someone asked if they knew the cause of death of George VI
1952 was a time where it wasnt that important to get it right on the DC in someone who was gonna die anyway
Oh, coronary thrombosis wd be a way of getting the surgeons off any hook for post op loo-loo....just thought
Very well done in 'The Crown' - the King really does say "oh sad it, I am going out hunting."
