Abstract
Despite anxiety over his heart problems, Pigou lived a fairly healthy life under the care of Dr Leslie Cole, a Cambridge cardiologist. In September 1958, he became seriously ill while vacationing in Zermatt and died on 7 March 1959, in Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. The death certificate records the cause as bronchitis, aortic atheroma, and an abdominal aneurysm.
