Mr al-Fayed spent 10 years trying to prove Princess Diana and his son Dodi were murdered when their car crashed in a Paris road tunnel in 1997 while trying to outrun paparazzi.
His family said he died on Wednesday — a day before the 26th anniversary of Dodi and Diana's death.
"Mrs Mohamed Al Fayed, her children and grandchildren wish to confirm that her beloved husband, their father and their grandfather, Mohamed, has passed away peacefully of old age," the family statement read.
