Very sorry for your loss..There are certain familial cancer syndromes which could be the reason here. The shoulder and leg pain seems unrelated but the back pain could have been a symptom though likely in the late stages only.. No, icecream did not cause the disease..
You should meet your family doctor and give a proper history.. And then the male members of your family after a certain age, the first degree relatives of the deceased will need few investigations including colonoscopy.
