What Causes Bleeding Through Eyes, Nose And Mouth Before The Death?
One of my cousins died the other day. His sister said that when she came to check on him he was laying in a pool of semi-congealed blood with blood coming from his eyes, nose, and mouth. what can cause this? I know that he was on dialysis and had a history of possible drug abuse and drinking.

Hi,
Sad to know about the demise.
The symptoms you have described are due to failure of the clotting mechanism of blood.
There can be many reasons for that in a patient on dialysis,commonest being platelet dysfunction,excess of heparin,liver damage,drugs like NSAIDS etc just to name a few.
