Causes of death German to English

A recent translation for the Coroner on unnatural causes of death. 

Schuss- und Stichverletzungen	Gunshot wounds / Stab wounds
Aspirationspneumonien	Aspiration Pneumonia
Fremdkörperaspiration	Foreign Object Aspiration
Ertrinken - Badetod	Immersion
Schäden durch Strom oder thermische Einwirkng	Electrocution or exposure to extreme heat/cold
Tod durch Verhungern	Malnutrition
Aspyxie-Tod – allgemeiner Sauerstoffmangel	Aspyxia – generalised hypoxia

Note that I did not translate Ertrinken as Drowning but Immersion. 

Drowning is a mode of dying and on the death certificate it is not the mode of dying, but the medical cause of death which is recorded. Important difference that I have to explain very often as a Coroner's officer. 

While the causes of death were easily translated, I had more trouble with the accompanying texts. The law in Germany and England differs significantly. In England, the Coroner has a legal duty to investigate death where it is believed that it occurred from not natural causes. In Germany it is the duty of the Staatsanwaltschaft (= Public Prosecutor). However, the scope and powers of the Coroner in England are far wider in regards to sudden death.
