From what disease did Bering reportedly die?
Tuberculosis
Scurvy
Pneumonia

Answer
Scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, is the reported cause of Bering's death. This condition leads to weakened immune systems, impaired wound healing, and tissue damage, particularly affecting the skin, gums, and internal organs. Without timely treatment, scurvy can progress to more severe symptoms and potentially lead to death.
