County records cite a genetic clotting disorder with a lung blood clot as contributing conditions.

Overview

  • Los Angeles County documents published Thursday and cited by Us Weekly and People identify an acute myocardial infarction as the official cause of death.
  • The records list a hereditary coagulopathy, which raises the risk of dangerous clots, and a pulmonary embolism, a clot blocking blood flow in the lung, as significant factors.
  • Muldoon was found unconscious in a Beverly Hills bathroom by his partner, Miriam Rothbart, and was pronounced dead at the scene on April 19th after resuscitation efforts failed.
  • The same county filings note that he was cremated Tuesday, April 28, closing the immediate administrative steps after his death.
  • Family and colleagues shared public tributes, including messages from Denise Richards, Tori Spelling, and Richards’ daughters, as fans mourn the 57-year-old actor known for Melrose Place.
