Denied
The Board denied service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, finding that the evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's service and his causes of death.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against a finding that the Veteran's cause of death was related to service or any service-connected disabilities.
