That link doesn't seem to be working sorry about that

Richard Whiteley died just days after undergoing heart surgery.

He fell ill with pneumonia last month, but had been said to be recovering slowly.

...and he would get a bonus point for using all the vowels!!!!

Seriously though, It looks like a classical case of invasive pneumococcal disease, that has started as pneumonia and then spread to his heart. I believe that he was diabetic, which would have put him into one of the "at risk" categories for IPD
