I don't know about getting hold of medical records, the Melrose Wakefield Hospital is still in existence so you could call them directly. But if you are looking for cause of death that would be listed on the death certificate available at The Registry of Vital Records in Dorchester as well as Melrose City Hall. Someone suggested you ask for the long form to show cause if death but wouldn't really know about that. Calling city hall in Melrose might give you the best answer for that.
