Paul O'Grady's cause of death has been reported after the TV presenter passed away last month.

O'Grady was 67-years-old when he died, with his family announcing at the time that he died 'unexpectedly but peacefully' on 28 March.

His husband, Andre Portasio, shared the news on social media, writing: "We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss.

"He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humour, wit and compassion.

"I know that he would want me to thank you for all the love you have shown him over the years."

The family did not give a cause of death at the time, but O'Grady's death certificate, obtained by the Express, has revealed that the presenter died from sudden cardiac arrhythmia.

The British Heart Foundation explains that sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) is when someone dies suddenly following a cardiac arrest, and no obvious cause can be found.

A cardiac arrest takes place when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around your body, causing the brain to become starved of oxygen.

The death certificate indicates that O'Grady's long-time friend, as well as former PA and agent, Joan Marshrons, registered his death six days after he passed away.

The For The Love Of Dogs presenter had previously been open about his struggles with Ischemic Heart Disease, having endured three heart attacks before the age of 65.

In the years before his death, O'Grady told The Mirror he was 'counting his blessings' when it came to his health, saying it would be a 'miracle' if he reached 60.

"I don’t fear anything nowadays," he said. "There has to be an angel out there. They are trying to steer me out of trouble 24 hours a day."

Reflecting on the first heart attack he suffered in 2002, O'Grady added: "I’d sort of been waiting for it… all of our family has died of heart disease. But I never thought I wasn’t going to make it. God, no."

The report of O'Grady's cause of death comes as fans were able to tune in this week to the presenter's final series of the ITV show For The Love Of Dogs, which saw him head once again to the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, to meet some of its residents in need.

The series is set to continue each week on ITV, and online on ITVX.

He had already had 3 heart attacks years earlier. More likely either another heart attack oran arrhythmia related to his known heart disease

Three heart attacks before age 65.
First heart attack in 2002.

The vaccine wasn’t released until 20 years after his first attack.

“Reflecting on the first heart attack he suffered in 2002”

The vaccine went back to 2002 and gave him a heart attack. Is there anything it can’t do?

A case report. The author can draw any conclusion they want it is not a rigorous study The more likely etiology of the increase in diagnoses of a fib is the apple watch and other such devices that make monitoring cheap and available to anyone - and this phenomenon was already being seen before covid. In addition the rose of stroke centers around the country is resulting in more and more vigorous monitoring of patients for a fib.

Apparently not. I’m more impressed with it everyday. Not only has is caused every death since 2021 even in the unvaccinated but it is now causing complications in people prior to its development! Are the side effects and complications? Undoubtedly. it we will never have a rational look at them or a reasonable conversation about them as long as the unvarnished hysteria and hype continue

Aggravating a pre-existing condition is not unheard of.

In retrospect, they shouldn’t have added a flux capacitor to the vaccine.
