I'm delurking to say that over the years I've done a little reading about Krishnamurti
and he most certainly did die at age 91, however, he suffered from diabetes and died
of pancreatic cancer.  (Information from "The Kitchen Chronicles - 1001 Lunches with
J. Krishnamurti" by Michael Kronhnen and "Krishnamurti - 100 years" by Evelyne Blau.

In her book, "Lives in the Shadow with J. Krishnamurti", Radha Rajagopal Sloss
considered Krishnamurti her second father while growing up and wrote that her mother,
Rosalind Rajagopal, had a long-time affair with "K".  At the time, Rosalind was
married to D. Rajagopal, Krishnamurti's business associate.
