I really don't know; would guess it was cancer as I don't believe they were aware of the dangers of radiation and the need for shielding then. But it will probably be something humdrum like pneumonia or renal failure .....

Pierre died in Paris on 19 April 1906. It was raining and he rushed across the street and slipped, and a horse-drawn vehicle hit him and he fell under its wheels. His skull was badly fractured.

Scores on the way.
