His proper name was Gaius Plinius Secundus- he was killed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. at the age of 56, whilst attempting to rescue a friend and his family by ship from one of the seaports near Pompeii and Herculaneum. He was 56 years old when he died, and the cause of his death would either have been inhalation of toxic volcanic gases or by his vessel being inundated by the pyroclastic flow from the eruption.
