“I just want to take a minute to remember Jimmy Caan: one of the kindest, coolest, funniest people I’ve ever met, one of my mentors. And you’ll be missed, Jimmy Caan. I love you.”
No other information was shared at the time of his passing. But now, a death certificate obtained by TMZ on Saturday has disclosed his cause of death. The certificate states that James died from a heart attack and coronary artery disease. But that’s not all. James also suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, and congestive heart failure.
The document also stated that the Elf star succumbed to these serious heart conditions at around 9:02 p.m. at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, on July 6. TMZ reported that James was buried at Eden Memorial Park.
Such a tragedy…
We are sending our love to James’ friends and family while they continue to mourn his loss.
