Hollywood legend Sean Connery died in his sleep from pneumonia, heart failure and old age, his death certificate has revealed.
The legendary Scottish star, who became a global sensation as the first James Bond and featured in a string of cult hits in his five-decade-long career, had passed away in Bahamas on October 31 at the age of 90.
According to the death certificate, which was obtained by TMZ, Sean Connery died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia as well as atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rate that can cause an increased risk of strokes, heart failure and other complications.
Connery made his acting debut in 1956 with BBC production of Requiem for a Heavyweight, but his career breakthrough came when producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman roped him to play James Bond, the fictional spy created by author Ian Fleming.
