I never understand how they don't know the cause of death.

Heart failure would cover it every time.

What caused the death? Heart failuer or head removal - I suspect that removing the head meant that the heart stopped working but I'm no doctor. Can you live without your head? SAS seems to have managed it

Bit like when very old people die, just from natural causes, doctors cannot put 'old age' on the death certificate as the cause. Pneumonia will usually do it tho.

Yeah but lying the old sods on their back so they drown is a bit of a no-no...
