Can Ursula set a new examination to establish how he died (7,6)

I believe the answer is:

natural causes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'examination to establish how he died' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'can ursula set a new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'can'+'ursula'+'set'+'a'='canursulaseta'
'canursulaseta' with letters rearranged gives 'NATURAL CAUSES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for natural causes that I've seen before include "Reason for death when not suspicious" , "Disease or old age as opposed to violence or accident" , "Common reason for death" .)
