How did Ozzy Osbourne died? The official cause of death was revealed. Two weeks after his passing, Ozzy Osbourne’s official cause of death has been confirmed. According to The New York Times, a death certificate filed in London by his daughter Aimée Osbourne lists cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease as contributing factors to the 76-year-old rock icon’s fatal heart attack. The certificate also noted that Osbourne had been living with Parkinson’s disease.
Specifically, the certificate, which listed Osbourne’s occupation as “songwriter, performer and rock legend,” noted that Osbourne died of “(a) Out of hospital cardiac arrest (b) Acute myocardial infarction (c) Coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction (Joint Causes).”
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, and newly revealed details from his death certificate shed light on his final hours. According to The New York Times, an air ambulance was dispatched to his residence near Chalfont St. Giles in Buckinghamshire, England, that day to deliver advanced critical care. The helicopter then traveled roughly eight miles to Harefield Hospital in Uxbridge, London, where it remained for about an hour with its engines running.
While Osbourne’s family did not initially disclose the cause of death, the rock icon had been transparent in recent years about his declining health. He had openly discussed his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease, as well as spinal and neck surgeries that left him unable to stand or walk. Despite these challenges, Osbourne gave what was billed as his final performance—alongside Black Sabbath—on July 5, in their hometown of Birmingham, England.
