Do you have any idea where in Natal he died?  Sorry, should have asked that initially as well.

Appears his estate settled in 1955. Estates are only online up to 1950. You can contact https://www.eggsa.org/ who will access the record for a small fee. Here is the Natal probate site and you will see it only goes up to 1950 https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/229462?availability=Family%20History%20Library
