A member asked:
My grandmother passed away in her sleep and vomited a lot of coffee grounds, what could have caused that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure: I am not sure why she passed away, but coffee ground is a sign of gastro-esophageal bleeding ( causes of GI bleed may include, gastric ulcer, gastric cancer, esophageal varices etc..).
