Overview
- TMZ reported the official filing lists cardiogenic shock as the immediate cause of death for the 59-year-old musician.
- Underlying causes include vasodilatory shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation and alcoholic cirrhosis, with sepsis, graft-versus-host disease, immunosuppression, chronic kidney disease and pneumonia contributing.
- The certificate notes Escobedo was cremated and records his four-decade career as a performing entertainer.
- Kimmel confirmed Escobedo’s Nov. 11 passing with an on-air tribute and the show paused new episodes for mourning.
- Kimmel started fundraisers for UCLA Medical Center, where Escobedo received care, and for The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas, as earlier reports of a liver-transplant link remain contextual and not cited on the certificate.
