> Hi, List: Under "Cause of death" on a barely-readable certificate, there
are two or three possible causes of death listed:
>
> Morbus Cordis 12 months (heart disease?)
> Bronchitis
> (indented) Onasarea?/Onasarca?
>
> Is there such a disease as Bronchitis Onasarea?/Onasarca?, or did she have
both Bronchitis AND Onasarea?/Onasarca? ?
>
> The nearest definition of the dreaded "O" word I could find on a medical
site was Anasarca, which was defined as massive edema or dropsy.

> Any elucidation appreciated. Thanks. Jojo
