Adrian could not remember the exact date of Old Paltrow's death, and he was not even sure if Old Paltrow had passed away before his own rebirth, although if he tried to dig into his memories, there was a high possibility he could find the answer. Yet, he was not surprised by Old Paltrow's death as it was well-known that he had throat cancer, which was a long-standing issue. He had been fighting it and had achieved some success; he looked quite healthy when Adrian saw him a few weeks ago, but his death still came abruptly.
Old Paltrow had died in Italy, and his death was quite sudden. After attending his daughter's birthday party in Italy, he went on a vacation to Rome with his wife. His throat cancer worsened suddenly, and he only lasted about four days. Adrian wasn't present and hadn't seen the medical reports, so he wasn't clear on the specifics but guessed that Rome's climate or something else might have aggravated his condition.
