What was the cause of Swamy Vivekanandas death?

1

Around 1884, when he was forty-eight, his throat began to bleed. At first it was diagnosed as ‘clergyman’s sore throat’ and treated as such. But as the bleeding continued, the malady was recognized for what it was: cancer. Swami Vivekananda had once prophesied that he would not live to be fifty. He died on July 4, 1902, six months before the target he had set for himself. Soon the chapel bell rang the seven o’clock call for evening worship. Quietly, with a word that none should disturb him, he went to his own room for an hour’s meditation. Then he called one of his disciples in and asked him to open all the windows and fan his head. Without a word, he lay down and a silence enveloped the room. The disciple continued to fan the Swami. Minutes passed and not a word was uttered. It was presumed that Vivekananda was either sleeping or gone into deep meditation and in any event it was not for the disciple to disturb him either by word or deed. At the end of an hour, says Swami Nikhilananda
