He was smothered to death.

(OK who said that!)

They had a great long life together.

"He was smothered to death."

Word is they opted for a closed casket, because they couldn't get the smile off his face.

... Dean was very private and stayed out of the limelight during their marriage ...

R.I.P. Carl Thomas Dean, a great person, imo.

Stevie Wonder - Ngiculela-Es Una Historia-I Am Singing (1976)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Ngiculela ikusasa
Ngiyacula ngo thando
Ngicula ngelinyi langa
Uthando luyobusa
Jikelele kulomhlaba wethu

Es una historia de maana
Es una historia de amor
Es una historia que amor reinar
Por nuestro mundo
Es una historia de mi corazn

There's songs to make you smile
There's songs to make you sad
But with a happy song to sing
It never seems as bad
To me came this melody
So I've tried to put in words how I feel
Tomorrow will be for you and me

I am singing of tomorrow
I am singing of love
I am singing someday love will reign
Throughout this world of ours
I am singing of love from my heart

Let's all sing someday sweet love will reign
Throughout this world of ours
Let's start singing
Of love from our hearts
Let's start singing
Of love from our hearts
...
