German term or phrase: bei
Befund.

"Diagnosen:
Exitus letalis bei respiratprischer Insuffizienz bei Aspirationspneumonie infolge Mediainfarkt rechts"

The wonderful 'bei', a steady companion in German medical reports. I usually use 'with' or 'in the presence of', but here I stumbled upon a 'double bei'. Help me construct a sentence that would read natural in medical English, would you please?

My attempt so far:
"Death due to respiratory failure caused/triggered by aspiration pneumonia as a consequence of the right middle cerebral artery stroke."

Any suggestions for a modification, or is it OK?

Explanation:
in the UK, there are several sections on a medical certificate of death - not sure if the document you're translating is a report or an official MCD equivalent
