Quincy Jones’s Cause Of Death Revealed

The document also noted Jones, who was 91 years old, had lived with cancer for years when he died Nov. 3. While he has already been laid to rest by those closest to him, a larger memorial is being planned in his honor, The Associated Press reported.

Pancreatic cancer is rarely discovered in its early stages and thus often leads to a dire prognosis, according to the Mayo Clinic. 

Jones was widely celebrated on social media, with tributes from the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Caine and LL Cool J showcasing his cultural reach. His daughter, actor Rashida Jones of Parks and Recreation fame, paid tribute last Thursday on Instagram.
