Ozzy Osbourne’s cause of death confirmed as heart attack
The cause of the death of Ozzy Osbourne was confirmed less a week after the pioneer of Heavy Metal was put to rest in his native England.
Osbourne’s death certificate, obtained by the New York Times on Tuesday, reveals that the leader of Black Sabbath died of a heart attack. Coronary disease and Parkinson’s disease have been listed as contributory factors.
Osbourne’s death at the age of 76 was announced by his family on July 22.
“It is with more sadness that simple words cannot reveal that we must point out that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne died this morning,” said their declaration. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family intimacy at the moment. ”
The legendary rocker died only a few weeks after his farewell show with Black Sabbath in Birmingham, England, where he played from a chair because he was physically unable to stand up.
He revealed for the first time in 2020 that he had received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease the previous year.
“It was terribly difficult for all of us,” he said on Good Morning America at the time. “I made my last New Year’s show at the Forum. Then I had a bad fall. I had to undergo surgery on my neck, which did all my nerves. ”
In February, Osbourne gave an update on his health, sharing that he could no longer walk.
“I may be moaning how I can’t walk too,” he said in an interview with Siriusxm, “but looking at the road, there are people who did not do half, and they didn’t do it.”
Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Birmingham last Wednesday before the funeral procession of Ozzy, led by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and their children Jack and Kelly.
The fans crowded behind the barriers through the hometown of the rocker of the “Crazy train, while tens of thousands of people watched a lively recorded broadcast of the procession, which featured a fanfare – carrying Ozzy Osbourne jackets – played covers of his strokes.
Kelly and Jack escorted Sharon as she posed flowers in tears at the top of the hundreds of other bouquets to what seemed to be a bridge of black Sabbath. Besides tributes, there was a sign that is read as follows: “Ozzy forever. Birmingham will love you forever. ”
With Kelly, Jack and Shthe Aron, to whom he has been married since 1982, Ozzy is survived by their older child, Aimee, as well as the three children he shared with his first wife, Thelma Riley.
