Good question. I found this online:

The actual death of a person with dementia may be caused by another condition. They are likely to be frail towards the end. Their ability to cope with infection and other physical problems will be impaired due to the progress of dementia. In many cases death may be hastened by an acute illness such as pneumonia.

It affects & damages the involuntary portion of the brain also. It can be a long process or in the case of a Stroke it can happen in a very few short months.

Heart failure was the exact cause according to Wikipedia. Eventually, dementia causes your organs to “forget” how to work.
