I have a possible death certificate for a great-uncle but I don’t feel confident enough that it is the right man. What do you think…could it be him? What I know for fact is below… (the red is speculation)

Is this the same man?? Herbert George Thomas
Death 21st January 1953 – Hundred Acres Banstead
Age: 57
Occupation: a Guide Book Seller
Cause of death: 1(a) Broncho pneumonia II General Paralysis of the Insane PM Certified by R Macdonald MB
Informant: W G Brown Causing the body to be buried Hundred Acres Banstead
Technically he would have been 56 but I will let that one go! But there is nothing else to link with any information I have. i.e. residence and occupation. I know that the “Paralysis of the Insane” may have come about quickly but there has been no mention of an illness or incapacity for him.
I’m really not sure tbh. It’s definitely a possibility. No other death registered “fits” age and name wise like this one does. And also I can’t find someone else who would definitely fit this guy either which is promising.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to where I could look next. Maybe the burial would give next of kin. (he did have a sister and niece and nephews alive)
