A Florida coroner has confirmed that Billy Mays died of heart disease.

The infomercial pitchman, who passed away on Sunday, reportedly suffered a pulmonary embolism, while evidence of a heart disorder was also discovered.

According to Hillsborough County medical examiner Vernard Adams, Mays "had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of the ventricle which takes blood to the heart".

Tampa Police recently revealed that it "suspects no foul play" in Mays's death.
