A statement has just been released, detailing the singer’s heart condition
The 53-year-old singer sadly passed away over Christmas in his home in Goring, Oxfordshire. At the time, the cause of his death was unknown but today (7 March), a coroner has confirmed that the singer had dilated cardiomyopathy – a condition where the heart’s ability to pump blood has been decreased due to an enlarged or weakened left ventricle.
Additionally, the singer had a fatty liver and myocarditis – an inflammation of the heart muscle.
In a statement from Oxfordshire’s senior coroner Darren Salter, he explains, “As there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver, the investigation is being discontinued and there is no need for an inquest or any further inquiries.”
“No further updates will be provided and the family requests the media and public respect their privacy.”
