As declared on his death certificate. Turns out, if over 80, it is something that you can die of. Is this the first step to any normality?! And to those who said people don’t die old old age and kept banging that drum
That sounds like the old one about stepping into an empty lift shaft .... ..... it's not the fall that kills you ..... it's the concrete in the basement .
My mother died a couple of months back aged 91 and cause of death on the certificate was ‘Frailty of Age’ which I thought was an elegant way of saying she was tired and old and had simply had enough. ( simply stopped eating and took a month to finally end her days -despite being in a nursing home luckily I could visit her everyday albeit togged up. )
My mum died back in 2016, she made it to 99 3/4 bless her. Cause of death on certificate was 'old age'.
