This is a bit morbid but does add context to the life and times - things like this - pandemics, financial panics, wars, riots, technological advances, etc. - all are important to understanding what happened:

E.M. Reilly passed away July 1890 from pneumonia/respiratory illness. Upon review this was quite likely the result of his contracting the Asiatic or Russian flu, the last great pandemic of the 19th century. It always seemed odd that EM would come down with pneumonia in the middle of summer in London. Modern researchers believe this was a corona virus. A note to this effect has been made in the history.

The 1889–1890 pandemic, often referred to as the "Asiatic flu"[1] or "Russian flu", was a worldwide respiratory viral pandemic. It was the last great pandemic of the 19th century, and is among the deadliest pandemics in history.[2][3] The pandemic killed about 1 million people out of a world population of about 1.5 billion (0.067% of population).[4][5] The most reported effects of the pandemic took place from October 1889 to December 1890, with recurrences in March to June 1891, November 1891 to June 1892, the northern winter of 1893–1894, and early 1895.
