註釋

The Medical Examiner's report listed the cause of death as acute cardiac arrest with hypertensive heart disease as the underlying cause of death and obesity as a contributing factor. The autopsy report noted an enlarged heart (weight of 550 grams). National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) investigators concluded that the FF suffered a sudden cardiac arrest from an unknown cause. The FF had an enlarged heart which may have made him more susceptible to an arrythmia. The FF was a 29 year old male, a non-smoker, and was very physically fit. The FF had a medical evaluation when he joined the fire department (FD) in 2012, and had an optional medical evaluation in 2013 and he received respiratory clearance every year. None of the available records indicate that the FF had elevated blood pressure or a diagnosis of hypertension. The FF was diagnosed with sleep apnea and used a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
