Nearly a month after chef Carl Ruiz died, his cause of death has been confirmed.

The celebrity chef and Food Network personality, who often appeared as a judge on “Guy’s Grocery Games,” died of a what appeared to be a heart attack on Sept. 21 at the age of 44. A source from the Maryland Department of Health tells Fox News that Ruiz’s death was specifically caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: hardening of the arteries.

“I have no words to describe what a great friend he was to me and my family,” Fieri tweeted. “His ability to make me laugh and smile under any circumstances was only outshined by his talent as a chef.”
