Albert Einstein died of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Ruptures may cause pain in the abdomen or back, low blood pressure, or loss of consciousness, and often results in death. (Mortality, if ruptured, is 85% to 90%.) The rupture also caused internal bleeding in his brain, because surgery was not conducted.
The reason he died was that he refused surgery, saying, "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." I happen to disagree, Einstein, its called modern medicine. Surgery would have removed the abdominal aortic aneurysm, prevented the rupture and internal bleeding.
I am not a theoretical physicist but if he lives 10 years longer what can he realistically accomplish?
