A report from the Putnam County Coroner’s office, obtained by People, stated that Brendon’s cause of death was atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, with acute pneumonia and a prior myocardial infarction listed as contributing factors.

The report further noted that the 'mechanism of death' was a 90% blockage in the right coronary artery.
