What is the reason that so many obituaries of supercentenarians doesn't mention cause of death?

http://afp.google.co...f0iQeZHl3T0DcPA

Now Clementine Solignac has died without any given cause of death

Some other supercentenarians 115+ dying without any specific cause

Jeanne Calment
Sarah Knauss
Christian Mortensen
Marie Bremont
Julie Winnifred Bertrand

And many more

These people are of enormous scientific value and their cause of death should not be written of as some kind of mysterious "old age" or nothing at all.

Could the reason of all of these people's deaths be TTR-amylodoisis causing electrolyte disturbances and causing systemic collapse making organs like the heart stop working which Stephen Coles mentions is the leading cause of death among supercentenarians..

But this phenomenon also happens quite often with people in their 80's and 90's as well as I understand it.
