    Request a death certificate from birth, death and marriages

    Perfect, thank-you. I wasn’t sure if the cause of death would have been mentioned on it.

    Do you not need consent from next of kin?

    It will. There will be certified cause of death, which usually takes the form of naming the disease(s) or condition(s) from which the person died. There will also be details of the informant, which in 19 cases out of 20 will either be the doctor treating the patient or an official of a hospital or other facility in which the patient died. Sometimes it will be a person said to have been "present at death"; this will typically be a family member.
