Nine weeks after his passing, the official death certificate obtained by TMZ reveals that the guitar legend died after a cerebrovascular event, or stroke. Pneumonia, the blood disorder myelodysplastic syndrome and lung cancer were also cited as underlying causes.

On Oct. 6, Van Halen's son Wolfgang announced that his father had died after a "long and arduous battle with cancer."

The certificate also listed a number of other "significant conditions" that contributed to his father's death, including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (skin cancer) and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat).

 

Wolfgang recently released Mammoth WVH's debut single "Distance" as a tribute to his father.
