Hello everybody, Just received a death certificate of my husband's 3rd great grandfather who died in 1848. The cause of death is put down as "mortifcation". What is that please? Pauline |

Mortification is 'Gangrene, necrosis or severe infection' - not pleasant at all - I know from experience. Maz. XX |

Pauline, it means Gangrene of necrotic tissue and necrotic tissue means dead flesh. |
