George Wendt’s cause of death has been revealed.

Wendt died as a result of cardiac arrest, according to a death certificate from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, obtained by TMZ on Thursday, June 5.

The certificate listed congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease and hypertension as underlying causes of death for the Cheers alum. End-stage renal disease (also known as kidney failure) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) also contributed to Wendt’s passing.

Wendt died in his sleep last month at age 76. He is survived by his wife, Bernadette Birkett, whom he wed in 1978, and their three children: Joe, Hilary, and Daniel.
