2014, Graeme Wall remarked:

B----y hell, he wasn't that old. 52 according to the BBC

Mortality rate for a man that age is low, but not insignificant;
around
7% of men will die in their 50's.

He didn't, perhaps, have the healthiest of lifestyles...


Has it been revealed what he died of ?


They announced a heart attach quite early on. Now that is pre autopsy,
but heart attacks aren't normally mis-diagnosed that much, surely?


Not by doctors. Journalists could do a lot better.

Some poisons (e.g. potassium chloride) can cause similar signs but the
circumstances in which someone is found will often give the game away.
Also some poisons are themselves medicines with a rather thin line
between a medicinal dose and a lethal dose cough!Shipman/cough!;
one person's daily dose of heroin is another's first and last dose of
diamorphine, it has been alleged that George V was helped on his way
with morphine and cocaine.
