Leslie Jordan's Cause Of Death Revealed 3 Months After Tragic Car Crash: Details
Leslie Jordan's cause of death has been confirmed as "sudden cardiac dysfunction."
The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office revealed the arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease was what caused the Will & Gracie star to die from natural causes and crash his BMW into the side of a building in Los Angeles on October 24, 2022.
There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol in Jordan's system at the time of his passing. The famed comedian had been sober for more than two decades prior to his death last year at the age of 67.

Jordan was pronounced dead at the scene of the fatal Los Angeles car accident, however, it took three months for the LACCO and the Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner to investigate, confirm and release the cause of the incident.
As for what the Call Me Kat star's final moments looked like, Jordan was driving behind the wheel of his luxury vehicle when his heart began to fail and ultimately caused him to lose consciousness.
"The first few minutes [of sudden cardiac dysfunction] are very crucial as the blood flow to the brain gets cut down drastically and the person loses consciousness, which can ultimately result in death," according to Apollo Hospitals, as the condition causes "the heart to beat dangerously and extremely fast."
