Hugh Hefner died from heart failure after contracting an aggressive strain of e-coli which was resistant to drugs, it has been revealed.

The 91-year-old's death certificate was obtained by The Blast on Tuesday, less than a week after his death.

It lists Playboy mogul Hefner's causes of death as cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, septicemia and e-coli.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health could not determine how Hefner contracted the deadly bacteria.

It was previously reported that an infection crippled Hefner, making him bed-ridden for the two years before his death.

He was 91. Why are they analyzing the cause of death as if he’s 61. Lived a long life. He basically died of old age.

[americas.best.days...]

So he really WAS a dirty old man.

[Buckeye McFrog]

How in the hell did the man live to be 91 when he had been exposed to as many STD’s as he had over many decades?

THAT’S the real story.

My 94 year old Mom almost died of that in January. Started out as a UTI and got in the kidneys. Then septicemia.
