Ethel Maud (Herbert) Coombs-1902-1931 Bristol

Ethel Maud Herbert married Walter Coombs in London in 1923 and became Ethel Maud Coombs. She died in Bristol in the 1st quarter of 1931 in Bristol after leaving her husband and 4 children in London.
We would like a copy of her death record, which should be available, only the law says we are being protected, and won't give it to us. We've already guessed she probably committed suicide and would like to know for sure what happened to granny. These days people are much more compassionate when a woman suffers from postnatal depression.
I would also very much like to check any newspapers that existed in the early months of 1931 to see if there is a write up of her death.
Could someone help me with these two things? I live in Canada.
Thank you! Mary
