Original Iron Maiden frontman Paul Di’Anno died last month after suffering “a tear in the sac around the heart,” according to the autopsy results posted in a statement on the vocalist’s Facebook page. 

“We have received permission from Paul’s family to bring you the news of Paul’s cause of death, after the results of the autopsy have been received,” the post said. “His sisters Cheryl and Michelle confirmed the following: ‘Basically he had a tear in the sac around the heart and blood has filled inside it from the main aorta artery and that has caused the heart to stop.’ Paul’s death was instantaneous and hopefully painless. May he rest in peace.”

The Guardian confirmed on Oct. 21 that Di’Anno died at home in Salisbury, England.
