Sir Sean Connery's cause of death has been confirmed nearly a month after he died at the age of 90. The James Bond legend died in the early hours of Halloween at his home in the Bahamas. He died in his sleep, with the factors listed on his death certificate given as pneumonia, respiratory failure, old age and atrial fibrillation - an irregular heartbeat.

TMZ, which acquired the certificate, showed how the star died at his luxurious mansion in Nassau on the island of New Providence. Sean's wife Micheline Roquebrune had previously told how the actor had died peacefully in his sleep and surrounded by his family.
