An autopsy performed Tuesday confirms that the death of the singer, following pulmonary edema, is “natural,” Le Monde reports.
Charles Aznavour died Monday morning of “natural death”, following a “cardiorespiratory failure”, said the prosecutor of Tarascon Republic, Patrick Desjardins, in a statement revealing the results of an autopsy performed Tuesday October 2nd.
“The hypothesis of a drowning following a malaise could be formally rejected,” the statement said. The body of the artist was discovered Monday at noon at his home in Mouriès, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, “lying in the bath of the bathroom adjoining the room of the deceased.”
