"Cause" can be a fuzzy word. If you have a chronic neurological disorder for many years and it wears you down to the point where you're susceptible to bedsores that get infected or to pneumonia or to kidney infections or whatever, your official cause of death will probably be listed as the pneumonia or whatever infection killed you, but you probably wouldn't have died of that "cause" if you hadn't had that chronic neurological disorder.
