Feb 22, 2021 · No. "Deceased" is an adjective; "decease" is not generally used as a verb. You might find it in dictionaries, but OED, for example, has no examples later than the eighteenth century (although it does not mark it as obsolete or archaic). Use "died" instead.

Feb 3, 2017 · Feb 3, 2017. #6. "The son of the deceased" becomes "the deceased's son". Perhaps deceased is capitalized in legal documents. I don't know.

I'm translating a death certificate into Italian and am having trouble with the following sentence: "I hereby certify that I attended the above named deceased and that death occurred from the causes and on the date stated above at 8:30am EPT."

Dec 3, 2012 · Deceased is more common. Expired would be understood (I think) but it's sufficiently unusual that people might be momentarily confused by it. My own preference is to just say dead because I don't find euphemisms for death at all comforting, but I realize not everyone agrees with me on that, so in deference to the different sensibilities of ...
Jan 2, 2023 · French. Jan 2, 2023. #1. Aboard a ship, men die from illness. They are Discharged Dead (DD). I understand the meaning, of course (Relevés de leurs obligations suite à décès), but I'm struggling to find a French plausible formula, and as concise.
