Alan Thicke Cause Of Death Confirmed

A week after Alan Thicke died suddenly of what appeared to be a heart attack, the 69 year old’s cause of death has been confirmed.

According to his death certificate, Thicke’s death was caused by an aorta artery that tore and three short hours later, ruptured. The aorta serves as the primary artery that carries blood from the heart to other body parts.

Prior to his death, reports say Thicke was experiencing chest pains. He died mere minutes after his aorta ruptured.

On Sunday, Alan Thick was laid to rest. His son Robin Thicke was one of the pallbearers.
