He died of natural causes, but anything that couldn't be described was considered natural at the time.
Edward must have had a very stressful 60 odd years, perhaps the stress took him out.
He was raised in exile, saw a half brother come to rule and die, a brother killed, a father die, mother go power hungry and wed his father's enemy, returned to rule England with his "norman" court of advisors, promise in ways the crown to two seperate people and then die himself.
I would love to see a movie on this man!

He was 63 years old (very old for the 11th century). Most sites mention a deathbed and his inability to attend to royal duties due to illness. I didn't see any reference to what illness it was.
