Cause of death :…Heart attack..

or

Father’s name (Deceased): ………First Name Last Name...............................

Cause of death :…Heart attack..

Answer 2

Deceased

Answer 3

(Deceased).


I deal a lot with this with legal papers.
It is Jane Doe, Deceased.

Do you want "in" (that would be where), or do you want "on" (for date).

Answer 4

Hiya, yup, if you're "late," you're dead. :(
I think it has to do with meaning recent, for example, he was, of late, in Europe. And so, it means dead, as in "recently" deceased.
