This week’s #FridayFind is an unfortunate cause of death.

Backlog is no stranger to finding details that can come off as a little… unusual to our modern sensibilities (see: last November’s post on “Man struck by board dies”), but this week’s find is unfortunate even to us. According to her death record, Maria Eveslage of Dinklage, Germany, widow of Hermann Hinrich Wehage, at the age of 69, died of Hemorrhoids. Couldn't it have said natural causes?
