In 1903, Queens County was part of Greater New York City for five years Did you search the Queens Death Index films located at the NYC Municipal Archives? If you share the name of the deceased party, perhaps one of us may help you find the death certificate. Perhaps the "problem" is the spelling of the surname. Whether a coroner's report was performed or not, your search sounds accurate.
