Course translation:

 

The Swedish opera singer Fritz Arl-

berg has died in Kristiania. Arlberg died from

bronchitis, from which illness he has suffered

for a couple of years. From the postmortem it

also emerged that a not insignificant cancer

tumor had arisen in one lung, and that

the heart was disproportionally large as a

result of the illness.

 

So he died from natural causes, it seems.

 

He is buried in Leksand, Sweden. Gravar.se

His son is said to have moved to Leipzig. G E Fritz Arlberg - Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon (riksarkivet.se)

His illegitimate daughter moved with her mother to Paris in 1887. Minnen

Dödsorsak.

 

[Inger Hohler]

Cause of death Cancer pulmonis (lung cancer) and hepatis[?]
As it does not say 'hepatitis' I believe this means he also had cancer of the liver. It is not unusual for lung cancers to have spread to other organs before the cancer kills.

[Vibeke Lund Åhling]

Cancer hepatis = cancer of the liver.

 

So he died from natural causes according to the official enquiries.

(And the official books here tend to say suicide if it was.)
