My immortal phoenix died of a disease??

I'm about 99% sure that there is a bug out there that would explain the OP's (rather bald) statement, and perhaps Graeme's post as well. I'm not sure if this is a known bug (but I haven't seen it on the bug list), but here's how I think year end disease processing works:

In the month which new afflictions are checked for and added, there are two months worth of disease degeneration that occurs. So, for example, if you're using fever fetishes on a scout (one of the easier ways to test this), and your at month 12 with 2 hps, as you roll over to month 1, your scout will be dead.

Moreover, if you have a scout with 1hp at month 12, he will die w/ no announcement. This is the category which I think might explain the immortal dying due to disease. I suspect the first of the two disease processing steps is incomplete, and if an immortal is processed in this way, the reincarnation step is skipped (just as the death announcement step is skipped with my scouts).

Late winter!! You might be on to something here.

I posted a savegame here with this bug, in october.

My phoenix died in friendly dominion, battle report said no commander died, as normal. Same turn, a message that my Phoenix died of a disease, but there was *no province name* for where he died. Hall of fame shows a disease, but there was none in the battle, so apparantly he got it during the killing blow. This was in Late Winter, sounds like a bug in the old age mechanic.
