The coroner also says May’s weight contributed to his condition, which was simply high blood pressure and heart disease.
The Last Comic Standing alum died on Oct. 6 at age 45.
He was found at his Las Vegas residence after performing at the local Harrah’s Hotel and Casino the night before. His body was found in his bedroom around 1 p.m.
No attempts were made to revive May, as he had clearly already passed at the time of discovery. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 1:28 p.m.
He was also battling pneumonia in the weeks leading up to his death.
