First one is definitely 'val ht disease' or valvular heart disease. The pathologist didn't feel the need to be more specific because in all likelihood, it was a known diagnosis before death.
The second one is definitely 'probable head injuries' based on the signature/handwriting style.

Why do you say that? The "G" is like the other Gs on the document and completely unlike any of the Hs on the document, the "E" is an E, and the "N" is like all of the other Ns on the document.
The certificate was signed by the coroner. You might be able to find a full record of the coroner's evaluation by contacting the Medical Examiner's office:
My grandmothers were born in the 1800s. The written W=m, and the written U - n. The word that looks like Wowau is Woman. It is a challenge to translate her recipes. There is also a prolapsed Mitral Valve, that can be written as Mitral heart valve prolapse. It has been in our family since the 1700s. There is also an old word for Rhinitis, ?phlem I think

I think it is either a "U" or a "V".
Could be two abbreviated words and the full word "Disease". Perhaps Val Ht Disease (meaning heart-valve disease)?
I still think it is automobile case, not [i]cask[/I].
It's definitely a K, AUTOMOBILE CASK
Click on the certificate photo and then on your computer, down on the lower right part of your screen, click on 'change zoom level' and blow it up to 200% and it shows clearly a K.

Did that. It still looks like an E to me.
I also Googled automobile casket and the only hits I got were for automobile themed caskets.
If I search automobile cask I get two newspaper articles which describe automobile cases in court:
The closest I found to automobile casket was casket coach.
