Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am sorry to hear about the loss you suffered on account of your husband's death.

Bleeding from the ear and nose could be secondary to brain hemorrhage, related to head injury or spontaneous hemorrhage.

A post-mortem or autopsy examination could have confirmed the underlying disease.

Cerebral vascular disease refers to brain stroke, where the blood supply to the brain is reduced.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
