Soldato
She died 3 months after having surgery. She survived the bike crash which led to the surgery. Surely she hasn't survived the surgery if we are nit picking hereIt's the hospital they should think about suing if anybody

)
I would suspect (going by experience) that she more than likely died of pneumonia.
When old people are immobilised for a while (usually from a broken hip) then its very common for them to contract pneumonia through not moving around enough.
Although the accident 3 months prior may not have directly killed her, if she had not had her hip broken then it can be argued she would still be alive...
Of course, it may have been a hospital contracted infection like MRSA but my money is COD being 1a. Pneumonia with a "Fractured Neck of Femur" as a secondary cause somewhere on the certificate (if it was in the UK as the yanks may call it something else)
