I was talking to a relative (A) recently about another relative (B) that died years ago. We discussed relative B's cause of death because A was worried about the condition of B being hereditary. I have a death certificate for relative B which listed Exophthalmic goiter as the cause of death.

During our discussion, we mentioned another relative (C) who has written a book that included relative B. In this book, relative C listed B's cause of death as either a stroke or heart attack. But C does not list Exophthalmic goiter as the reason or cause of the stroke or heart attack. In an e-mail, relative C correctly stated that if not treated, Exophthalmic goiter can lead to stroke or heart attack. Btw, relative C is a lawyer.

I really don't have a question or anything like that. I guess I am throwing something out there that I have run across and see if anyone else has come across something similar.
