Would you please give me a little bit of idea why they put the word 'his death' there? I'm curious to know as I watched her cooking show on TV last night.
We can assume that her first spouse was death already but why not put only word 'death'? and how did it relate to the time of their marriage. I mean, when did he die? Thank you for your time.

I think the part after the semicolon is supposed to explain how/why the marriage ended.
