Dabney Coleman's Death Certificate Reveals Official Cause Of Death

According to the document obtained by The Blast, Coleman died from cardiopulmonary arrest [CPA], which, according to the National Institute of Health, is the "cessation of effective ventilation and circulation." CPA is also more commonly known as cardiac arrest or circulatory arrest.

I had not heard the acronym CPA used for "cardiopulmonary arrest" before. I've always known it as "certified public accountant."

Coleman's death certificate also showed the actor had other underlying issues, namely "dysphagia," a medical term for difficulty swallowing, and "chronic systolic congestive heart failure."

He passed away on Thursday at his Santa Monica home, according to his daughter, Quincy, who conveyed the news to the Associated Press, stating he "took his last earthly breath peacefully and exquisitely."
