Simple Definition
Ex visitatione Dei: This is a Latin phrase that means something happened because of God's plan or because of a physical incapacity. In the past, if a prisoner didn't speak during their trial, a jury would be called to find out if they were choosing to stay silent or if they were unable to speak. This phrase can also be used in a coroner's report when someone dies from a natural cause, like a disease.
