According to an Instagram post from the Jane Goodall Institute, the beloved conservationist died of natural causes at the age of 91 while in California. Her visit to California was a stop on a speaking tour of the United States that she has been doing.

McCormick’s social media followers joined her in mourning the loss of Goodall.
“God bless Jane Goodall. Her legacy is eternal. Love you Maureen,” one fan commented on Instagram.
Another of McCormick’s fans noted, “#JaneGoodall was the Original Influencer.”
“An intelligent and compassionate woman. She will be missed,” added someone else.
“Wonderful woman who was not only a friend but a mentor to so many. Rest in Peace,” read an additional comment.
