Will There Be An Inquest Into The Queens' Death?

[10ClarionSt]

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?

[Peter Pedant]

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

so quick I missed that one - - I thought he would have been cut off in case he then added, " and she is already in Heaven you know". The hacks started stuttering and sniffing a god few hours before The Announcement. I really thought the honourable things ( beeb hacks that is!) were 'blocked' = stuttering because they were being forced say things were true ( 'she is alive') when they knew she wasnt (=lie)

there's an article in the latest Private Eye about HM''s last hours. It doesn't give a cause of death but says a 6.30pm embargo was placed on the announcement; they then spiked their own guns by lowering the flags before that.

[Peter Pedant]

I thought the big dividing line was
get the working royals around the death bed but no one else

= make sure Harry is 'on the way' when the death is announced.
( = cackhanded and maladroit, as ever)

"we" don't have to know what she died of. The public not knowing what someone died of is not the same as nobody knowing what she died of.

[Canary42]

Oh no, not another conspiracy theory.

[sandyRoe]

Didn't Private Eye claim that the Queen's dad was dispatched by his medical team in order to meet press deadlines?

sandyRoe, her grandfather George V. Yes, his doctor disapproved of rags like the Evening Standard and wanted his patient dead in time to make the next morning's edition of The Times. This wasn't known till comparatively recently.

btw, old Scottish death certificates I have in my family history cupboard are unusual in that they give the exact time of death; English ones do not. I don't know if this is still the case, but if so it will answer one question.

When the 'most important' family in the land lets authorities know what they want regarding time and cause of death then us plebs will be told what's been agreed.

None of it matters of course, the woman is still dead.

[10ClarionSt]

Thanks for the replies folks. I didn't really think there would be an inquest but some interesting replies.

In reply to 237SJ, I did mean pegged out, as in ended, finished, done. Twas ever thus.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I agree ( complete agreement along Oldham Rd.)
dead is dead and I hate passed - somehow denying the deceased is er deceased ( = very bad psychologically). It opens the way to TRUE theories (they're true I know they are!) such as she is not dead, she is undead, she is resurrected, she married Elvis and is on the moon) which we can discuss until the day of DDDOOOOOMMMMM !

It's just a blessing that the end came quite suddenly - I don't think I could have stood the press coverage of her being in and out of hospital for weeks or months. The reporting of the mourning/funeral was too much for me.
I haven't bought a newspaper since she died & may never do so again.

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe it was an armpit infection.
