what does Fan die of in the story "A Christmas Carol"?

Fan is Scrooge's little sister who dies after giving birth to scrooge's nephew, Fred. I'm not sure if it is in the book, but if anyone finds out how she died it would be of great assistance.

This was all I could find for you;

"Scrooge has only his nephew left but doesn't particularly care for him, likely due to Scrooge blaming him for his sister's death following childbirth; in some retellings of the story Scrooge's father blames Ebenezer for causing his wife's death in childbirth with Fan as the older sibling."
