Tawny Kitaen's death at 59 was the result of dilated cardiomyopathy, a common heart disease, according to medical examiners.
The Orange County Coroner's Office said that other factors in Kitaen's May 7 death at her Newport Beach, California home were linked to antidepressants, opioids, clogged arteries, sedatives, Tylenol and nerve pain medication, TMZ reported.
The outlet in May reported that police told Kitaen's family that the items recovered at the scene indicated there were no signs she tried to take her life, or that drugs or alcohol factored into her passing.
