Murió What does "Murió de un calambrecalambre" mean?

I just finished Cuentos Alegres, a book assigned to me in Spanish class forty years ago. The book itself may be over 100 years old in its original printing. 

In the last story, a Sherlock Holmes story, the phrase "murió de un calambre" was used. A literal translation would be "died of a cramp". It's also what Google translate tells me. Does it mean died from a seizure? It this an old usage?
