pure age

More or less- the official cause of death was pneumonia. on 25h October '52 he was on his way to Parliament to oppose the planned privatisation of Quantas, when he caught a chill and was forced to return home. He lay bedridden for 3 days (at one point seeming like he might recover), but finally passed away on 28th at the age of 90.

His funeral was the largest one Australia has ever seen, before or since- akin to that of Princess Diana's in London 45 years later.
