How did Edgar Guest die?

The poet Edgar A. Guest was known for publishing his accessible, sentimental poems in newspapers and was one of the most popular poets of the World War I and Great Depression eras of US history. Guest died in his sleep on August 5, 1959, at the age of seventy-seven. The Prescott Evening Courier reported in its obituary that, though the cause of death was not immediately apparent, it was eventually determined by physicians to have been a cerebral hemorrhage. A cerebral hemorrhage, also known as a brain hemorrhage, is caused by internal bleeding following an artery bursting in the brain, and is classified as a type of stroke.
Guest is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan, where he lived.
