Steve Jobs, co-founder and ex-CEO of Apple Inc., died on October 05, 2011 at his house surrounded by his family at the age of 56. The cause of his death is revealed by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department. According to the death certificate, he died of sudden respiratory arrest caused by pancreatic tumor.

After his operation in 2004, Steve Jobs talked very less about his pancreatic cancer and in August when he resigned as CEO, he simply said that he could no longer meet the company needs. However, before his death, he made sure that the engineers had the new iPod, iPhone, Macbook and iPad specifications and he also told them his work on iCloud project and the idea of Apple television which is the new product line. Steve Jobs, the technology icon, was consigned to grave last Friday in Palo Alto.
