disease for years, his death certificate said.

An
email from The Associated Press requesting confirmation from the
registry office in Hillingdon Council in northwest London, which
covers the district where the Black Sabbath singer was
reportedly officially pronounced dead, was not immediately
returned. Osbourne's representatives didn't immediately return
the AP's emailed requests for comment.
The document was submitted by Osbourne's daughter Aimée Osbourne
the New York Times reported. Osbourne died of “(a) Out of
hospital cardiac arrest (b) Acute myocardial infarction (c)
Coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic
dysfunction (Joint Causes),” the certificate states.
Osbourne, also a somewhat unexpected reality TV star, announced
in 2020 that he had Parkinson’s disease after suffering a fall.
In announcing his death, his family asked for privacy and said
that he was with relatives when he died.
Fans came out in droves from across the country to mourn his
death in his hometown of Birmingham last week. Osbourne had his
final show there just weeks before his death, as admirers
watched the heavy metal icon perform while seated on a black
throne.
“I don’t know what to say, man, I’ve been laid up for like six
years. You have no idea how I feel — thank you from the bottom
of my heart,” Osbourne said during his performance. “You’re all
… special. Let’s go crazy, come on.”
