neutral  Neil Ashby: We don't use "decease" in this context, it's archaic.//I have no doubt the word exists, but take it from native speakers (from the UK in my case), it is not natural in this CONTEXT.

neutral  lorenab23: "doubtful natural decease" is not a term used in English at all. Careful with word for word translations, very unnatural

  -> it might not be natural in the US. I work as an interpreter daily with the UK and would not say it is unnatural. Thank you. Anyway.

agree  philgoddard: This sounds like a contradiction in terms to me, but I can see that it's what people say.

  -> It does, doesn't it..... I guess it means they were deemed to be of 'natural causes' but maintain an air of suspicion. Check out the case of Natalie Woods, see discussion.

agree  Charles Davis: There is "suspicious death" (which applies to Natalie Wood, btw, who drowned, so not natural but either accidental or possibly homicide), but this is not exactly that. It must mean COD was apparently natural causes but reason for doubt. Autopsy required.
