It’s been just under a month since Sir Sean Connery sadly passed away, leading to multiple tributes from across the entertainment industry and beyond. The actor died at the age of 90, and the causes have now been revealed via his death certificate, a copy of which was obtained by TMZ. While there are no surprises in the report, it does appear to line up with the account from Connery’s widow Micheline Roquebrune that he departed peacefully in his sleep.
According to the certificate, the actor’s death at 1:30am on October 31st resulted from respiratory failure brought on by old age, pneumonia and atrial fibrillation, with the latter condition typically linked to an irregular heartbeat. The performer, who remains perhaps the classic version of James Bond, was at home in the Bahamas at the time. Subsequent comments by his family and others seemed to indicate that Connery...

Chicago – Sean Connery, who began a sensation when he first introduced himself as “Bond, James Bond” in his role as the spy in “Dr No” (1962) – and was able to redefine himself as a character actor after 10 years as Bond – passed away on October 31st, 2020, at his home in the Bahamas.
Born in Scotland to working class parents, Thomas Sean Connery worked his way up the show business ladder to the giddiest of heights, even winning a Best Supporting Oscar for his role in “The Untouchables” (1987). In his choice of roles, especially post-Bond, he was unpredictable and provocative, while staying humble to where he came from … Connery was a lifelong advocate for Scottish independence from England.

Letter from actor cites health reasons for non-appearance at Costa del Sol corruption trial
Sir Sean Connery has failed to appear in court in Marbella where he and his wife had been summoned to testify in a corruption case.
In a letter delivered to the court, Connery, 80, cited his and his wife's age and health reasons for their non-appearance. He also claimed that he had insufficient time to make travel arrangements to get from the couple's home in the Bahamas to the Costa del Sol.
The actor had been threatening to sue for damages on the grounds that the allegations have caused him both personal and financial harm. But in the letter he apparently apologises for not appearing and says the couple are willing to co-operate with the court. Legal sources in Marbella suggested the issue could be resolved through a rogatory commission – that is, that Connery and his wife could testify in the Bahamas.

Summons a result of an investigation that the authorities inevitably dubbed Operation Goldfinger
Sir Sean Connery and his wife, Micheline, have been summoned to appear in court in Marbella on the Costa del Sol tomorrow in a corruption case.
The summons are the result of an investigation that the authorities inevitably dubbed Operation Goldfinger and centre around the 1998 sale of Malibu, the house that Connery and his wife owned for several decades. The house was sold for €6.4m (£5.6m). The summons relates to €2.7m that the local authority claims it is owed and to the 72 luxury flats built on the site after Connery sold it, when planning permission had only been given for five family houses. The flats allegedly yielded a €53m profit.
As well as Connery and his wife, Micheline Roquebrune, 25 others have been caught up in Operation Goldfinger, among them Julián Muñoz, the former mayor of Marbella, his ex-wife Mayte Zaldívar,...

Sean Connery and Ed Westwick. By Lloyd Bishop. Swans of New York City who have a taste for Parisian couture or Milanese finery have countless opportunities to indulge these cravings. But if you are one of the lasses or lads who live for the styles of dear old Scotland, you really have just one night per year to revel in Scottish fashion. Oh, but what a night! Monday evening, Sir Sean Connery and his wife, Lady Micheline Connery, hosted the seventh annual Dressed to Kilt fashion show at M2 Lounge, in Chelsea. The shining jewel in the crown that is New York Tartan Week, the event celebrated Scotland while boasting a fashion show of native designs that had a healthy sense of good humor.

Sir Sean Connery credits the success of his happy 32-year long marriage with his inability to speak the same language as his wife.
The former James Bond star married French artist Micheline Roquebrune in 1975 - despite the fact he doesn't speak her native language.
And he's convinced this is the reason the pair has enjoyed such a lengthy union.
Connery says, "She may be half my size, but she's got a few snappy comebacks. We're total opposites - that's what has kept us together all these years.
"I don't speak a word of French but often think that what should be a handicap is actually a godsend."...
