Dying of Old Age: A BS CoD that needs to be more specific - C'mon really, what REALLY broke? Heart? Lungs? Kidneys? Liver? Artery?

It's the queen. I'm sure they wouldn't disclose what her actual death certificate said. They wouldn't want to drive speculation.

In the US at least they want a specific etiological sequence of what led to death when you're filling out the certificate, even in elderly patients. "Old age" is not acceptable. I assume it's similar in the UK.

I think it's sensible to just say the age and the death cause.
It would be even better if the conditional life expectancy at death was given. (Dead of this cause, predicted life cut short by this many years.)
