I am so sorry for the loss of your grandpa and your uncle. Try getting a copy of their death certificates, their should be a cause of death listed.

How old is your uncle? The elderly people can die just from broken hearted and depression. It happens quite often. When one of the elderly couple died for example, the one still live might experience deep emotional grief which can suddenly effect the physical health. Under such circumstances body organs that already weak and fragile can stop working: heart attack is one example.
However do determine exactly autopsy by a doctor is needed.
Sorry for the loss of your uncle.

Well you did not give much to go on here. Sometimes the caregiver(your uncle) spends so much time helping the patient( your grandfather), the caregiver neglects himself. I have seen this happen many times as I am a Public Health nurse. We try to tell caregivers to take a break and ask other family member for help so the are not so stressed-out. They rarely listen. Many die before the patient.

It could be like when elderly couples pass away. It's not uncommon for one spouse to pass away and then within a short time the other spouse passes away. Even if they are perfectly healthy. It's like dying of a broken heart or of loneliness. It's also seen in friends that live together for a very long time. No known reason, some weird phenomenon

Was there anything strange that happened before either one of them died? Although it could be a coincidence.
