Definition of Ex Visitatione Dei
By the dispensation of God; by reason of physical incapacity. Anciently, when a prisoner, being arraigned, stood silent instead of pleading, a jury was impaneled to Inquire whether he obstinately stood mute or was dumb ex visitatione Dei.
Also by natural, as distinguished from violent, causes. When a coroner’s inquest finds that the death was due to disease or other natural cause, it is frequently phrased “ex visitation Dei."
