Scott probably died of a combination of malnutrition and hypothermia. As well, he probably lived with frostbite for the months before his death.

While frostbite did contribute to Robert Scott's death, he actually died from a combination of factors including extreme cold, exhaustion, and starvation during his ill-fated expedition to Antarctica in 1912.
