It was his last public appearance. Six days later, at 07:30 GMT on the morning of 6 February, he was found dead in bed at Sandringham House in Norfolk. He had died in the night from a coronary thrombosis at age 56. His daughter flew back to Britain from Kenya as Queen Elizabeth II.
What did Bertie have removed?
The drastic surgery to which he submitted was to remove an obstruction (probably cancerous, but the King's doctors still would not say) in the left bronchus, a branch of the windpipe leading to the left lung. In deciding to risk the operation, the King was guided by advisers of his own choosing.
How old was King George when he died?
The King failed to recover from a lung operation, and died in his sleep on 6 February 1952 at Sandringham; he was aged 56.
