Will & Grace star Leslie Jordan died due to a sudden cardiac dysfunction, it has emerged.

The actor, who also appeared on the sitcom Call Me Kat, died at the age of 67 on October 24 when the car he was driving crashed into a building in Hollywood.

Now autopsy results have confirmed that Jordan was dead before he hit the wall as his heart had suddenly stopped beating.

The LA County Coroner's Office said that Jordan was taking heart medication at the time of his death, adding that one of his arteries was 80% blocked and another was 50% blocked.

After a brief pause in production of Call Me Kat, the show returned to the air with a storyline that explained that Jordan's character Phil had married his boyfriend and moved for a new life in Tahiti.
