I wonder if anyone can read the scribbly writing on the certified cause of death on this cerificate? The last word is thrombosis, and i think the first word is shock?

Shock and toxaemia (?) linked to ..... thrombosis
That’s what I see!

So looks like 'shock and toxaemia leading to mesenteric thrombosis' not pleasant.

Shock and toxaemia due to mesenteric thrombosis.
Translation from Dr Google - "Mesenteric venous thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the major veins that drain blood from your intestines"
So the person has had a clot in their bowel which has led to a serious infection and toxaemia, or blood poisoning.
We'd probably call that sepsis today.
