Yes, congratulations! The Professor forgot his scarf and overcoat and contracted pneumonia and died - a victim of pneumonia (realise it's not a murder victim, but we seem to be enlarging our victim scope). Anne's response to his death was 'Poor Papa', hence 'my family sighed'. (The 3rd clue was my name, I thought it might just prompt you in the direction of the book)
I've always loved this book, first read it in my impressionable early teens. Diamonds, Africa, intrigue and romance!

I suspect it's the first person to read my reply as to who gets it!
The biggest clue is that this man was a victim of something (rather than someone maybe), and that he wasn't wealthy; in fact quite the opposite.

Oh! Poor dear,
To have died so very young.
They said my killer
Was quite highly strung.
