On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office officially listed the cause of death as “probable cardiac arrhythmia” — an irregular heartbeat — and “calcification in 3 of his main arteries,” Yahoo reported.

According to the autopsy report, Morton had no drugs or alcohol in his system, the outlet reported.

Morton was also an owner of the Viper Room nightclub in West Hollywood and had been romantically linked to several celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan and Demi Moore.
