The cause of death for heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne has been revealed.
According to his death certificate obtained by The New York Times, the legendary rocker died of acute myocardial infarction — a heart attack — and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Other contributing factors included coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.
Osbourne passed away on July 22 at 76 years old.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” his family said in a statement posted on X.
His death comes weeks after he reunited with Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years for a final show. His performance came amid a string of health issues for the Godfather of Heavy Metal.
In 2020, Osbourne revealed he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a nervous system disorder that affects movement. He told “Good Morning America” that the diagnosis came after a fall in 2019, while recovering from pneumonia. Also in 2020, he revealed he had been diagnosed with the lung disease emphysema.
