Paul O'Grady's cause of death confirmed weeks after TV star died age 67

Paul O'Grady's cause of death has been confirmed weeks after he passed away in his home in Kent at the end of March.

The television star's official death certificate - as obtained by The Express - states that the 67-year-old died from sudden cardiac arrhythmia, which was linked to ischemic heart disease.

The British Heart Foundation states that sudden arrhythmic death syndrome - otherwise known as SADS - is when a person dies suddenly after suffering cardiac arrest, and no clear or obvious cause can be found.
