Sean Connery’s cause of death listed as pneumonia, heart problems and ‘old age’.
James Bond legend Sean Connery died of pneumonia, heart problems and “old age,” according to his death certificate.
The 90-year-old Hollywood legend died at 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 31 in his home in the Bahamas, according to the death certificate obtained by TMZ. His occupation was listed as “retired actor.”
The cause of death was listed as “pneumonia, respiratory failure, old age [and] atrial fibrillation” — the latter being an irregular heart rate that can increase the risk of blood clots, strokes and heart failure.
Connery’s wife of 45 years, Micheline Roquebrune, previously said that he also had a long battle with dementia and “went peacefully.”
The Scottish-born actor was best known for his portrayal of James Bond, the fictional British secret agent created by author Ian Fleming, playing Agent 007 in seven films, beginning with 1962’s “Dr. No.” He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.
