I know she was in poor health and in her 90's, but she pegged out less than 48 hours after meeting 2 armpits. Do we know what she died of?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There can't be a Coroner's Inquest, per se, into the cause of any death in Scotland because that procedure doesn't exist there. Its equivalent is a Fatal Accident Inquiry, called by the Procurator Fiscal and held in front of a Sheriff. The criteria for such an Inquiry to be held don't exist where a doctor certifies that a death was simply due to 'natural causes'.
I'm with Sqad, stroke seems a good candidate, as she hung on for a short while. At 96 a heart attack would have probably been a lot quicker I would suspect she already had some sort of advance directive, so she was able to pass without heroic intervention. It was interesting that in the interval between 'the queen is ill to the Queen is dead 'a medical expert who was invited to comment on tv suggested a stroke and was very swiftly shut down
Inquest only if a doctor cannot issue a death certificate
Buen is quite correct about Fatal Accident Inquiry and the fella is charge is the Procurator Fiscal ( 'the Fuskie')
It strikes me they pretty well knew what she died from as there was a decision NOT to admit to Hospital.
and yes as soon as she crossed "soooth of the borrrrrrder" any coroner in whose manor the body lay cd call an inquest ( but didnt).
( New Coroners Act, after that nurse's death ( Helen Smith) who fell off the balcony in Saudi Very Many years ago)
and was used for Princess Di - hold it dont we know she died in a car crash? Inquests in the Royal Household have special rules which had to be dusted off for Di. ( High Ct Judge, jury of eight I think) - all wearing funny hats, and the clerks carrying spears etc

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."
