Death certificate

Do people die from Paralysis ? I have received a death certificate today and it states that the cause of death is Paralysis. Just 4 years before the death this man was registered as being a clockmaker in one of the London directories, so I wonder if he had an accident of some kind. Is there somewhere I can find out what happened to him ? His death happened in the Holborn Union Workhouse, even though he had been a watch and clock maker with his son up to at least 4 years before that. Thanks for any help. Alison
