An autopsy for blues guitarist B.B. King has concluded that King died from natural causes and not from being poisoned, as two of King’s daughters claimed at the time of his death. Alzheimer’s disease was the primary “contributing factor” in King’s death along with Type 2 diabetes, coronary artery atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and cerebral vascular disease were also factors in his death.
King was 89 years old.
