ok, I have had a google, and reckon brain haemorrage (sorry for the spelling!) and it also looks like she had some sort of disease that inflames the arteries, (polyarteris nodosa) which is says is common in middle aged people, sad as she was only 13. Thanks for your help .

Without seeing the certificate, Sam's interpretation could be Subarachnoid haemorrhage as that is a cause of death, as is Polyarteritis nodosa

Crikey, I see what you mean.

1 - I would say Sub********** haemorrhage, possibly Subarachnoid haemorrhage??

2 - Hypertension - basically high blood pressure

3 - Could be Polyarteritis Nodosa? I've googled it and still don;t understand exactly what it is!
