The cause of death has been released, and it was not, as rumors were saying, suicide. It was natural causes. And he died in his sleep, which is a very nice way to go. It's how my Mom passed too. I miss them both. Also in that link is Chris Martin's performance of A Different Corner, performed at the BRIT Awards... last week, I think. I would have loved to hear Adele sing that one. It's my favorite of his, and requires a more soulful voice than Martin's to really shine. Hear hear! A Different Corner is my favorite song of his too. He sings it and you can hear the sadness. I wish Adele would've sang it at the Grammys. She would do it justice. |

It sounds a little odd that a person in their 50's would die of "natural causes". Does the term cover more ground than age-related death?

Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think "natural causes" just means there were no outside forces contributing to a death. Like it wasn't suicide, murder, or an accident.

That's my understanding too...It's "natural causes" versus "foul play". IIRC, celebrities who accidentally overdose on medications get filed under "natural causes". |

Since, I think I learned it in an Agatha Christie novel, I don't know if this is a British term only, but I love "death by misadventure". Sure your loved one ODed, but death by misadventure sounds like so much fun! |

I'm also glad that he didn't overdose or anything like that. |

It sounds a little odd that a person in their 50's would die of "natural causes". Does the term cover more ground than age-related death? Heart disease is a natural cause, regardless of age. Genetics can be involved, and one's diet & exercise can contribute. |

Drug abuse can also cause permanent damage to your heart, and we know that he struggled with addiction. But it is nice to know it wasn't directly caused by an overdose or something and I hope that is a comfort for his family.

HIV can also cause the heart conditions that killed him - I'm surprised that hasn't been discussed in the coverage of his death. I don't think it's shameful if he had HIV/AIDS - but the resounding silence and avoidance of the topic is odd.

I would think if he did have HIV/AIDS, that would have been listed somewhere in the report. It didn't have to be an underlying cause or even a secondary cause, but they list anything that could contribute to death or was in the system of the deceased. That sounds cold, but I've seen my fair share of death certificates around the entire country from long ago to present day and one that's more recent showed a suicide by a gunshot wound and listed that the deceased had cancer.
Just putting that out there.
But "natural causes" are a very general saying that it was this person's time to go. Nothing done accidentally, purposefully, murder, etc. But that their ticker stopped due to disease, defect, heart attack...He was absolutely young, but I knew a friend that died at 30 from a genetic condition that he was told he didn't inherit, and still died from a massive heart attack that was genetic and ruled "natural causes".
I'm glad that he died in his sleep and didn't suffer. That is truly the best way to go.
