The Cars Ric Ocasek Officially Died from Heart Disease
By Gary Trock
The cause of death for The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek has been announced less than 24-hours after he was found unconscious.
The NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner released the 75-year-old rocker's cause of death as Hypertensive and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease.
Pulmonary Emphysema, a lung condition that causes shortness of breath, was listed as a contributing condition.
Officials have categorized Ocasek's death as "natural," and closed the investigation.
As we reported, the new wave legend was found by his wife, Paulina Porizkova at his townhouse on Sunday.
Emergency responders were called around 4 PM, and Ocasek was pronounced dead at the scene.
Porizkova and Ocasek had been going through a separation, but never went through with officially ending the marriage.
RIP
