Death
Like his parents, Laura who died at 57 and Evelyn who died at 62, Auberon Waugh, a lifelong smoker, succumbed relatively young: to heart disease at the age of 61. He is buried in the Church of St Peter & St Paul, Combe Florey. Press obituaries were lengthy, and the headline "Auberon Waugh dies" was printed on the placards for the day's London Evening Standard.
