According to his death certificate, obtained by the New York Post and published Wednesday, the legendary songwriter died from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Kidney failure was also listed as a contributing factor in his death.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries, potentially leading to serious complications such as blood clots, strokes, and kidney failure, according to the Mayo Clinic.
