Cause of death

There is nothing in the article concerning what caused his death. Is that information still pending? Nosehair2200 (talk) 01:16, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Independent here says: "His cause of death was not immediately revealed. Jones was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the mid-1990s, a fact he made public in 2016." Many other media outlets make similar statements. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:04, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
