The sad truth behind Leslie Jordan’s death: cause revealed
The Los Angeles Coroner’s office has confirmed that comedian Leslie Jordan died in October due to sudden cardiac dysfunction and arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He passed away at the age of 67.
Sudden cardiac dysfunction is a malfunction in the electrical system of the heart that leads to a dangerous fast heartbeat and ventricular fibrillation. Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, meanwhile, is caused by the build-up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery walls, which obstructs blood flow. Jordan’s death is listed as natural.
On October 24th, Jordan was involved in a car accident in Los Angeles. According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, they found Jordan pulseless and not breathing when they arrived on the scene. Despite extensive efforts, including CPR and defibrillation, Jordan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following his passing, a statement from his representative mentioned that Leslie Jordan’s absence has left the world a darker place. A memorial service was organized in his honor in Chattanooga, his hometown, where he was remembered.
