註釋

The autopsy report listed hypertensive-arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease as the immediate cause of death. The report listed diabetes mellitus and obesity as contributing conditions. Autopsy findings included cardiomegaly, biventricular myocardial thickening, and left ventricular dilation. Two main arteries had calcified atherosclerotic plaque. The left anterior descending artery had significant stenosis. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) investigators concluded that the physical stress of shoveling snow likely triggered the sudden cardiac event. Given his uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and other cardiovascular disease risk factors, a more careful evaluation for fitness for firefighting duty, including a full medical evaluation consistent with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1582 was needed.
