The coroner said that there was no need for further inquiries
into the death of Michael, 53, who rose to stardom in the 1980s
with Wham! before a successful solo career.
"As there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being Dilated
Cardiomyopathy with Myocarditis and Fatty Liver, the
investigation is being discontinued," Darren Salter, the Senior
Coroner for Oxfordshire, said in a statement.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that impairs the
pumping of blood around the body.
The initial autopsy into the singer's death had been
inconclusive, though his manager had said previously that he had
died of heart failure.
“Wham! were one of the most successful pop duos of the mid
1980s, with singles such as “"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go",
"Last Christmas", “"Careless Whisper", and "Young Guns (Go For
It!)".
