18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely Unspecified systemic illness and (subsequent?) death are not expected after topical product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Other causes are more probable. Despite low level of information (concomitant medical condition, age and necropsy details are not available), considering long time to onset (1 month and more) and overall aspects, a product connection is deemed unlikely.
