Even fairly recently the actual cause of death wasn't known. As recently as the late 1800s, my great grandmother died of 'apoplexy', which I understand is what we would now call a 'stroke' and even that's a layman's term which is subdivided by the medical profession. and <There's no doubt but that some people are more prone to "catching something" than others> I've nursed DH through several very severe cases of 'flu, and have never had 'flu myself, but my GP insists I have the anti-'flu jab every year because of a suppressed immune system. I don't often get a cold either. I've always wondered if it's because I survived pneumonia as a three month-old baby and that' given me some immunity.
