Hi Amanda. I am sorry to hear about your dad. It most have been very difficult for you to see him suffer like that.
Yes, it is possible that scoping your dad resulted in the massive hemorrhaging that caused his death. That is one of the risks associated with that type of procedure.
The doctor/hospital may be afraid of a lawsuit which would explain their unwillingness to tell you anything. This is a sad reality of modern medicine.
My condolences on the loss of your father. Remember this: he will always be in your heart (nothing can really take him from you) and he is no longer suffering.
