Mar 2014, Graeme Wall remarked:

B----y hell, he wasn't that old. 52 according to the BBC

Mortality rate for a man that age is low, but not insignificant;
around 7% of men will die in their 50's.

He didn't, perhaps, have the healthiest of lifestyles...

Has it been revealed what he died of ?

"Another factor that can increase the risk of heart attacks is stress and
family history. Crow's father George also died from a heart attack in the
mid-1990s, the Daily Mail reports."

OK, it's the Daily Mail, but if it's true it's an absolute clincher, I'm
afraid. The only one of my wife's cousins to have died of a heart attack was
similar build to Crow and drank a certain amount (accountant to a brewery)
but his father died of a heart attack. He died without children so we won't
know if the next generation would have had the same problem.

Although Crow senior was presumably quite a bit older (perhaps mid/late
sixties) when he died, as it was only ~20 years ago.
