New details regarding Patrick Muldoon’s health prior to his untimely death have been revealed less than two weeks after his fatal heart attack.
According to his death certificate exclusively obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 29, Muldoon’s immediate cause of death was myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack.
The underlying causes included hereditary coagulopathy disorder, a genetic condition that impairs the blood’s ability to form clots properly. Pulmonary embolism was also listed as an underlying cause, which is a blood clot that travels to and blocks a vital artery or the lungs.
Muldoon was ultimately cremated on Tuesday, April 28, according to the death certificate released by the County of Los Angeles’ Department of Public Health. The certificate also lists his occupation as actor and producer and outlines that he was never married.
Muldoon’s close friend and ex-girlfriend Denise Richards was one of the many stars to share a heartfelt message online. “This is so hard for me to put into words. I am deeply heartbroken & devastated losing you. You were my best friend & my family,” Richards, 55, wrote via Instagram on April 21.
The actress continued, “The friendship, love, support, respect & loyalty we had was unconditional and rare.” Tori Spelling also paid tribute to her ex with a personal note on social media, remembering him as a kind and caring person with a unique sense of humor.
