syn·co·pe (sĭng'kə-pē, sĭn'-)
n.
Grammar. The shortening of a word by omission of a sound, letter, or syllable from the middle of the word; for example, bos'n for boatswain.
Pathology. A brief loss of consciousness caused by a temporary deficiency of oxygen in the brain;

syncope

Effect of temporary impairment of blood circulation to a part of the body. It is often used as a synonym for fainting, which is loss of consciousness due to inadequate blood flow to the brain. Paleness, nausea, sweating, and then pupil dilation, yawning, deep rapid breathing, and rapid heartbeat usually precede it. It lasts from under a minute to several minutes and may be followed by headache, confusion, and a weak feeling. The cause may be physical (e.g., heart failure, low blood sugar) or emotional (e.g., fear, anxiety). Abnormal vagus or autonomic nerve response can cause fainting (without preceding symptoms) triggered by ordinary activities such as urination, swallowing, coughing, or standing up or by pressure on the pulse point in the neck. Local syncope is coldness and numbness in a small area, especially the fingers, from diminished blood flow.

thanks elizabeth, i'm just looking now, i know she had a young child around this time, would the coroner have to say what caused the coma?

moe.

her daughter was born July quarter 1873, so would be a year old.

I think it is a loss of consciousness - presumably a coma.
