We don't know if he had an unmentioned medical condition (especially cardiac), as such mode of death (all other things bein equal) point to a myocardial infarction or second degree heart block
Again at this age, taking that he prolly had been on seat for long, we could suspect that he 'threw an emboli' from venous stasis.
Yes he is a professor of medicine and shouldnt be a culprit of these but we medics are some of the biggest neglecters of our health.

very possible

May his gentle soul Rest in peace

temitimx19:
Rest in Peace Uncle.. My dad is still in shock following your death, despite all your good works, the love, the care you showered upon the Ogunniyi's family, Death still stole you away.
If you ask me, you don't deserve to die. Rest in Peace Uncle..

E rokun. Eyin baba gha sian.

Rolandken:
He may have had a stroke or a cardiac arrest. Let's always ensure we advice our older relations to always go to the hospital regularly to get their blood pressures checked and other relevant tests done.

A Professor of Medicine at the Obafemi Awolowo University Prof. Solomon Ogunniyi, reportedly passed away in his office yesterday Thursday November 5th. The former provost of the college of health sciences, was said to have passed out in his office and no one noticed for a long time. It was when people noticed he'd been in his office for a while without exiting that they went in to check on him and found his lifeless body slumped in his chair. Cause of death is not immediately known but no foul play is suspected.

He was a Professor of Obstetrics & Gynaecology not Medicine.

A very great teacher. The first student to get a distinction in O & G. A teacher of teachers.

Great Ife has lost a rare gem! RIP baba!

RIP

Ahhh may God help us

RIP Prof

Very sad. This may likely be the result of a heart attack. Very important to always conduct a regular heart checkup.

The least you could say is Rest in Peace, and not accuse him of people's failure.
