How old was F1 star Stirling Moss when he died & what was his cause of death?
Moss died aged 90 in April 2020 with his beloved wife at his bedside after she nursed him through a long illness.
At the time, Susie said: “He died as he lived, looking wonderful. He simply tired in the end and he just closed his beautiful eyes and that was that.”
She added: "It was one lap too many. He just closed his eyes."
Moss rose to fame after the Second World War and went on to be acclaimed as the greatest all-round racer ever.

Though he famously never won the Formula One title, he finished runner-up four times and came third three times in a career during which he won 16 Grands Prix.
Moss and Susie were married nearly four decades before he died – and few knew the couple would disagree.

Susie had said in the past that their age gap – of 20 years – didn't matter.
She lovingly said: "I never thought about it because, to me, he was never old. He was always such fun."
Moss continued to make headlines in the years after his death after leaving £20million in his will and telling pals to: "Enjoy a few nights out."
