Pycelle mentions a poison called Widows Blood which slowly shuts down the bowels. Plus the description of Tywin during that scene...his face is green and had some nasty puss leaking out of his body . Oh and his corpse absolutely reaked and rotted faster; basically all the characters commented about the nasty stench

So Tywin basically started rotting from within before Tyrion shot him in the gut with the crossbow. What a fitting way for him to die as he was a truly rotten person.

One of my favorite characters though. Original Gangsta.
