Ozzy Osbourne’s death certificate reveals cause of death as heart attack
Ozzy Osbourne's cause of death has been revealed to be a heart attack, according to his death certificate.
The Black Sabbath frontman passed away last month at age 76. He had previously been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019.
A statement from his family read at the time: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.
"He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."

Ozzy's death certificate lists 'acute myocardial infarction' and 'out of hospital cardiac arrest' as the cause of death, according to The Sun.
Acute myocardial infarction is also known as a heart attack. It occurs when blood flow to the heart is suddenly blocked.
It has also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction as 'joint causes'. According to The New York Times, Osbournes' occupation was also listed as 'songwriter, performer and rock legend'.
On Wednesday (30 July), the Osbournes - as well as thousands of Ozzy fans - gathered to pay tribute to the Black Sabbath singer in his hometown of Birmingham.
The family arrived at the procession in the afternoon, where Sharon, 72, could be seen hugging the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal.
Grieving fans gathered to pay their final respects to the star at Black Sabbath bridge.
Meanwhile, the hearse carrying Ozzy's coffin made its way through his home city as crowds cheered, clapped, chanted his name and threw roses.
Just a handful of days before his death, Osbourne is said to have raised a staggering £140million for charity.
After hosting a final gig in his hometown of Birmingham on 5 July, he and his bandmates split the profits between Birmingham Children's Hospital, Acorns Children's Hospice, and the Cure Parkinson's charity.
The show's director, Tom Morello, told the press that a huge proportion of the funds had been raised through revenue from livestreams and merchandising.
As he performed what would end up being his last gig, the 'Paranoid' singer said that it was 'so good to be on this stage' as he entered the stage for the final time by rising on his large black throne through a trap door.
"It’s so good to be on this f*cking stage. You have no idea. I f*cking love you all. Let me see your hands in the air. You are the best, each and every one of you. God bless you all," he said.
"I don’t know what to say, man. You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Osbourne was laid to rest next to the lake at his Buckinghamshire home last week.
