Leslie Jordan died last year following an accident at the age of 67 and the exact cause of death has finally been disclosed by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office.
The coroner’s office marked it as a natural death, mentioning that he died from heart failure resulting from arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The aforementioned reason was being suspected as his cause of death for a long time since the car he was driving was not damaged entirely.
