King George VI died in his sleep from a coronary thrombosis on February 6, 1952. He had been sick for some years, suffering the effects of heavy smoking, the stress of World War II, and arteriosclerosis. In March 1949, an arterial blockage in his right leg was operated on. In 1951 King George VI developed lung cancer and underwent a pneumonectomy. He was 56 when he passed away.
