Jane Goodall’s cause of death has been listed as cardiopulmonary arrest, according to a death certificate, after the 91-year-old died Oct. 1 while on a speaking tour in California. The Jane Goodall Institute earlier described her passing as “natural causes.” The certificate, published by TMZ, also notes she had epilepsy, without stating its role. Goodall, an ethologist and conservation advocate, was due to speak at UCLA on Oct. 3. Tributes have poured in, including Ellie Goulding crediting Goodall with shaping her environmentalism into a lifelong mission.
