On November 1, 1999, Theodore Hall died at the age of 74, in [[Cambridge, England]]. He was survived by his wife and three daughters. Although he had suffered from [[Parkinson's disease]], he ultimately succumbed to [[renal cancer]], likely acquired as a result of the experimental work he was doing with plutonium in his year working on the "Gadget" used for the Trinity test.<ref name=nytobit>{{cite news |author=Alan S.

The information he gave Moscow was at least as sensitive as that which sent Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair. But the Americans decided not to charge Hall because of the security and legal difficulties of disclosing that they had penetrated some of the Soviet Union's most secure diplomatic codes. Subsequently, and with the tacit consent of the British security authorities, Hall spent more than 30 years as a respected researcher at Cambridge University until he retired in 1984, aged 59.|newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |date=November 16, 1999 |access-date=December 19, 2010 }}</ref>
