Causes of Death

by | Jan 31, 2010 | Just plain weird, Well I never.

One of the more interesting aspects of the Internet, I find, is the vast amount of information out there. This afternoon, whilst looking through an Office of National Statistics document on the Underlying Cause of Deaths from 2008 I came across this entertainingly worded category :

Traumatic amputation at neck level – recorded as the cause in 13 cases in 2008

At least there isn’t much room for diagnostic error with that one.
