Darren Salter—senior coroner for Oxfordshire, United Kingdom—has said that late singer George Michael died from natural causes, multiple media outlets have reported.

The “Faith” singer, 53, was found at his home on Christmas Day. He apparently had a heart condition. There will be no inquest.

Salter’s statement read, in part, “As there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver, the investigation is being discontinued and there is no need for an inquest or any further inquiries.”
