Denied
The Board denied service connection for the cause of death, as a disability of service origin did not cause or contribute substantially to the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support that the Veteran had a mental health condition at the time of his death, and even if he did, it was not the principal or contributory cause of death.
