The death certificate of iconic rock musician Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that the Black Sabbath frontman died from a heart attack, complicated by coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease, according to documents filed in London.

Multiple Health Conditions Contributed to Death

The certificate, obtained by The New York Times and filed at a London registry office, indicates that Osbourne, who passed away on July 22 at age 76, succumbed to an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This development adds new context to the artist's long-documented health struggles, similar to the increasing focus on public health initiatives across the UK.

Final Performance and Legacy

In a poignant farewell to his hometown of Birmingham just weeks before his death, Osbourne performed while seated on a black throne, demonstrating the same resilience that characterized his career. His ability to maintain public appearances despite health challenges reflected the kind of determination seen in other British industry pioneers.

"I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. You have no idea how I feel -- thank you from the bottom of my heart," Osbourne told his final audience.

Medical Documentation and Verification

The official documentation, submitted by Osbourne's daughter Aimée, details the specific causes of death as reported to official UK regulatory channels. The certificate lists multiple contributing factors:

  • Primary cause: Out of hospital cardiac arrest
  • Secondary cause: Acute myocardial infarction
  • Contributing conditions: Coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction

The family has requested privacy during this period of mourning, confirming that Osbourne was surrounded by loved ones at the time of his passing.
