Cause of death

[Sis]

Can anyone please tell me what this cause of death is? The death was in 1846 in London, if that helps. I think it says Fleus, but can't find out what that might be.

Intestinal obstruction. Fleus

Intestinal obstruction. Fleus

OK, Miss clever where did you find that meaning?

Ileus

Ileus is a temporary lack of the normal muscle contractions of the intestines. Abdominal surgery and medications that interfere with the intestine's movements are common causes. Bloating, vomiting, constipation, cramps, and loss of appetite occur.

No idea now. Just kept entering the word and that answer popped about 3 pages in. Ill try to find it again.

Could be as Muggy said Ileus, same symptoms. What got my hubby into 3 weeks in intensive care with sepsis. It was written as fleus though but cant find it again. So I'd go with Ileus.

Thank you ladies.

Ileus tends to be post-op, doesn't it? When the gut stops working normally. I went through it with one of my horses and also myself. Abdominal surgery would have been a lot more risky back then.

Can be due also to injury.
