Ron Ely‘s cause of death has been confirmed nearly two months after his passing.
After the Tarzan actor died at age 86 on Sept. 29, his death certificate listed the cause as “end-stage heart disease,” an advanced form of cardiovascular disease that makes the heart too weak to effectively pump blood.
The certificate listed Ely’s time of death at 7:04pm and noted he has been cremated, according to TMZ.
Ely’s daughter Kirsten previously told the outlet her father passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family.
Kirsten shared an emotional tribute to her father on Instagram. “The world has lost one of the greatest men it has ever known – and I have lost my dad,” she wrote.
