Brain Death Determinations Vary Across Hospitals

I wonder what the explanation is used on death certificates for people dying from stroke effects. People do not die from the stroke, they die from brain damage. Until this reporting is changed we never will be able to determine the reason for dying. Stoke is way too simplistic and uninformative. We used to have the category of dying from old age, that was eliminated because it told us nothing useful.
