No, as far as I know he died due to aging, he was bedridden for about 1 month or so. Although, I told my mom to ask his son because I want to be sure.

Also, I read in a paper that aerosol transmission of respiratory viruses requires an extended time in a poorly ventilated space to happen.

Exactly. That's why it is good to open windows and/or run a whole house fan to keep your home well ventilated. Also, indoor air is generally more polluted due household and laundry cleaners, exhaust from cooking, outgassing of synthetic substances, and the outdoor pollution that finds it's way in and stays.
