Sean Connery's Cause Of Death: A Tribute To The Hollywood Star

Sean Connery started acting in 1956 with the BBC's 'Requiem for a Heavyweight,' but his big break came when producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose him to play "James Bond", the famous spy created by Ian Fleming.

He came from a regular family in Edinburgh but rose to become a global film legend through talent and hard work.

Sean Connery debuted as "007" in 1962's 'Dr. No,' continuing with 'From Russia with Love' (1963), 'Goldfinger' (1964), 'Thunderball' (1965), 'You Only Live Twice' (1967), 'Diamonds Are Forever' (1971), and 'Never Say Never Again' (1983).

During his illustrious career spanning over 50 years, Connery garnered numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, multiple Golden Globes (including the Cecil B. DeMille and Henrietta Awards), and two British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA).

Connery's 'James Bond' was loved by fans, even though some critics didn't agree. The action, romance, and exotic locations were a big hit. But looking back, how women were treated seems old-fashioned. Still, Connery's performance is unforgettable and a big part of movie history.

Connery was knighted by the Queen at Holyrood Palace in 2000. He celebrated his 90th birthday in August 2020.

Sean Connery passed away on October 31, 2020, at his home in the Bahamas at the age of 90. His death certificate obtained by 'TMZ' cited heart failure due to pneumonia and old age as the cause. Atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rate, was also mentioned, along with the effects of aging.

Roquebrune and Connery's sons, Jason and Stephane, confirmed that he passed away "peacefully surrounded by family," as reported to 'PEOPLE'. Jason, 57, shared with the 'BBC' that his father had been "unwell for some time," expressing the family's struggle to cope with the recent loss. He described it as a sad day for all who knew and loved his dad and a significant loss for fans worldwide who admired his talent as an actor.

His widow, Micheline Roquebrune, revealed that his final wish was to have his ashes scattered in Scotland, his homeland, and in the Bahamas.

'Bond' producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli expressed their devastation at Connery's passing, stating, "He was and shall always be remembered as the original James Bond, whose iconic introduction to cinema history began with those unforgettable words, 'the name's Bond... James Bond'."
