The actress recently underwent a liver transplant and died of natural causes, according to the sources.

The phrase "natural causes" here refers to it being a medical reason not caused by a murder, accident, or suicide, just the body failing for whatever other reason.

That makes sense to me. I'm just not used to hearing it for anything but old age, I guess. It would also hit my ear weird if they used that phrasing for cancer, heart failure, stroke, etc.
