Yes Gins I have to agree it was the first time I've seen this wording on a certificate.

I have drowned in the canal, Heart stopped and your basic reasons but not from a visit from God.

How our world has changed as you couldn't put those words on a certificate today.

The death was probably sudden with no earlier illness. Stroke or aneurysm which was not diagnosed

They had to put something on the death certificate!

I was recently contacted by a person on Ancestry who he believes we have the same 3 gt grandfather. This is a brick wall in my tree and I have no details of him so can't give this person any details. He believes he is a descendant through a son which I didn't know existed.

I had a death for a person of the same name but didn't have the certificate so I ordered the certificate in the hope this mystery son was the informant.

The certificate arrived today and all I can do is smile

The cause of death is Sudden Death by visitation from God and the informant is Joyner Ellis coroner.

Oh well can't have it too easy.
