Andy Irons Autopsy Report
Conflicting reports are currently coming in concerning the cause of death in the passing of Andy Irons. According to an official autopsy report obtained by the New York Times, the primary cause of Irons’ death was cardiac arrest, related to coronary artery disease. The secondary cause of death, according to the Times, was acute mixed drug ingestion. The Tarrant County Medical Examiners office prepared the autopsy, which will not be made public until June 20. A press release, prepared by the Irons family, has also circulated. In the release, a medical examiner who consulted with the family comes to a different conclusion on the matter of whether drugs contributed to Irons’ death. “[Drug ingestion was] not the cause of death and did not contribute to the death,” said forensic pathologist Dr. Vincent Di Maio in the Irons family’s statement. “The Manner of Death is in fact labeled Natural.”
