Queen Elizabeth’s cause of death described as \u201cold age\u201d in the register of deaths released on Thursday.
\nThe registrar general for Scotland, Paul Lowe, confirmed that the Queen\u2019s death was registered in Aberdeenshire on 16 September.
\nThe document states that the 96-year-old monarch died at 3.10pm on 8 September at Balmoral Castle, Ballater. Princess Anne registered her mother\u2019s death.
\nOld age was the only cause of death listed, with no other contributing factors. Glass was an apothecary to the Queen, her doctor in Scotland.
\nThe record shows that the Queen died just over three hours before the news was announced by Buckingham Palace in a statement at 6.30pm.
\nThe time of death confirms the Queen died as many of her family were still travelling to see her. The King, Queen Consort and Princess Royal were at Balmoral because they were already in Scotland undertaking engagements.
\nThe Prince of Wales, Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Duke of York had flown from RAF Northolt, arriving at Aberdeen airport at 3.50pm and reaching Balmoral just after 5pm. The Duke of Sussex, travelling separately, arrived at Balmoral just before 8pm.
\nConcerns had been raised at around 12.35pm, when Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying doctors were concerned for the Queen\u2019s health. Truss was later informed of her death by the cabinet secretary, Simon Case.
\nOld age is acceptable if the doctor certifying death has cared for the patient for a long time, was not aware of any disease or injury that contributed to death and had observed a gradual decline in the person\u2019s general health and functioning.
\nThe Queen had been experiencing sporadic mobility problems during the final period of her life and used a walking stick regularly in public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
