He had visited Europe last summer and had attended the meeting of the International Astronomical Union at Rome, but after his return to South Africa he was in poor health and ultimately cancer was diagnosed. He came back to England under the care of a nurse in the spring of this year and succumbed to the disease after a painful illness.
