According to documents obtained by TMZ from the Orange County Medical Examiner in Florida, McFarr\u2019s cause of death was an irregular heartbeat due to an issue with his heart valves. This heart issue was likely exacerbated by his heavy drinking, leading to acute alcohol poisoning. The medical examiner\u2019s report also identified alcohol poisoning and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as contributing factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COPD is a chronic lung disease that causes breathing difficulties, coughing, mucus production, and wheezing. It is often a result of long-term exposure to harmful substances like cigarette smoke. Individuals with COPD are at a higher risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer, and other conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McFarr\u2019s autopsy report revealed a history of binge alcohol abuse, with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .29 at the time of examination. This is well above the legal driving limit and can lead to coma or death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
