Steve Job’s pancreatic cancer had spread to other parts of his body, according to his just-released death certificate.
The death certificate, released Monday by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department, said Jobs had a metastatic pancreas neuroendocrine tumor for the past five years. It listed his immediate cause of death as respiratory arrest.
The Apple co-founder died last Wednesday at his home in Palo Alto, California. He was 56.
Although he was buried last week, Apple employees will hold a private memorial service to celebrate Jobs' life on Wednesday, October 18 at the company's campus in Cupertino, California. The company will not hold any public services.
