At the time of Liberace’s death, his press agent said he had died from a combination of pernicious anemia, emphysema, and heart disease.[74][75] Liberace’s physician, Ronald Daniels, said he had died of heart failure caused by subacute encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease.[76][77] The Riverside County coroner performed an autopsy and determined that Liberace’s cause of death was cytomegalovirus pneumonia, a frequent cause of death in people with AIDS.[78][77] The coroner also determined that, at the time of his death, Liberace was HIV-positive, had pulmonary heart disease, and calcification of a heart valve.[76] The coroner said that Liberace’s doctor had deliberately claimed a false cause of death because heart failure never is caused by encephalopathy.[79] Author Darden Asbury Pyron wrote that Liberace had been HIV-positive and symptomatic from 1985 until his death.[80]
