The weirder detail (for me) is that super-abrupt mid-sentence fading out of the discussion, though this was common back then. I’ve seen a black and white Fred Dinenage-fronted schools programme from the 60s somewhere on the web where this also happens
I suspect its more that the programme overran than anything else and whoever was presenting didn't realise they were on the way out (or couldn't hear the gallery).

If not the death would have been mentioned at the start, not the end, which it doesn't sound like it was here
