Cause Of Death Revealed For Paul Di’Anno (Ex-Iron Maiden)

A cause of death has been revealed for original Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno. His passing was related to a tear in the sac around his heart.

The following statement was posted on his Facebook page:

“Dear fans and friends, we have received permission from Paul’s family to bring you the news of Paul’s cause of death, after the results of the autopsy have been received.

His sisters Cheryl and Michelle confirmed the following: ‘Basically he had a tear in the sac around the heart and blood has filled inside it from the main aorta artery and that has caused the heart to stop.’

Paul’s death was instantaneous and hopefully painless. May he rest in peace.

This weekend, an In Memoriam show was held at Underworld Camden, where many of Paul’s fans, friends, colleagues and family members came. With a magnificent musical set, his musical colleagues said a worthy farewell to their friend.”
