Denied
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's death, finding no evidence that his prostate cancer, heart disease, or cerebrovascular disease were related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the weight of the persuasive evidence is against finding that the Veteran's conditions are related to an injury or incident in the Veteran's military service.
